• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Hey there,

Tonight, Montreal, Ottawa, etc. received more than 16 inches of snow and it's still snowing. Here in Quebec city, in addition to this snow, wind is blowing very hard, with values exceeding F0 winds. (50 miles/h with tornado-like gusts of 80 miles/h near Saint-Laurent River)

I went outside to take some stuff on video, I will post a youtube link soon.

As you can see, Snow wasn't that hard on the video, we were in a dry slot, with only light snow, but heavy winds.

Wind kicked me down the hill I was standing on, and then I've got attacked by the part of a roof, flying in the sky.

A tall tree fell on my girlfriend's mother's car.

Intense night.
Sorry for my bad english, feel free to correct me :P
 
In term of snow this storm wasn't that bad. But the wind made it the worst one since 1971. People are still jammed in their cars and rescue teams searching them with snowmobiles. Many have a bad surprise this morning when they see their roof sufered some damage from the winds.
 
And here are some interesting reports:

08/22h-09/05h Québec VV 90-140 km/h
08/16h-09/08h Québec NA,PO 15-25 cm

08/14h-09/04h Mauricie NA,PO 30-40 cm
08/21-23h Mauricie VV 90 km/h

BARRIE, Ontario 45 CM (A 09H00 SOLEIL)

and the Big winner in snow accumulations:

Merci, Marc. C'est sensationnel!

... and the music really makes the video! Thanks for sharing!
