• 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.

May snow and thundersnow in Colorado and New Mexico

In what is usually a rather dusty, dry month in southern Colorado and New Mexico, a much cooler and wetter weather pattern than usual has resulted in repeated episodes of snow, often including thundersnow, in the mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. I have been able to observe these events on multiple days, and put together a Web page with links to my observations. You can view that page here:

These experiences include encountering accumulating snow while returning from a storm chase in which I saw a tornado in Kansas, and getting video of thundersnow on Memorial Day weekend. I'd say those are both pretty rare experiences! And how about this - there was even a small wildfire started in southern Colorado by a lightning strike during a snowstorm. It was extinguished rather easily with the help of the falling snow, but still a pretty unusual event.
