• 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.

During this week two years ago we were starting a ten day stretch of non-stop insanely severe weather - but up until it began there hadn't really been much going on. So have faith - things will get interesting soon.

And there certainly wasn't much going on right afterwards, either. In '03 I and quite a few others had to watch all that insanity happen and then when we finally got out there on the 16th... Nada. Zip. Two weeks of insanely severe-free weather. But that's the way it goes, and there's no point in complaining. Let's not forget that last year, those very same first 10 days in May were also insanely severe-free, but immediately after that we had a couple of the best weeks ever.

So it goes. Faith is hardly needed, things will indeed get interesting soon enough. They always do.

A new twist on the ancient Chinese proverb/curse: May you chase in interesting times. :wink:
 
For the first time in a few years, I actually made it to my daughter's birthday dinner. Red Lobster. Hmmm, baby. (What was I thinking? Conceiving a child to be due in storm season? Ah, youth...)
 
From the afternoon AMA forecast discussion:

IF APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS...THEN WHAT DO MAY SNOW STORMS
BRING? WELL...INITIAL PROGNOSIS WOULD SUGGEST THUNDERSTORMS AND
POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER BY THIS WEEKEND.
