• 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 was the wettest month in recorded U.S. history

April showers, as the saying goes, bring May flowers. Apparently, though, in Earth's new climate regime there is a corallary to this, which goes something like, "May downpours bring deadly floods and all-time rainfall records." At least that was the case this year.

According to data released Monday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, May was the wettest month on record in the contiguous U.S. NOAA says the average May precipitation total for the lower 48 states was 4.36 inches, which was 1.45 inches above average.

This was the wettest May on record, and the wettest month of any month since instrument record-keeping began in 1895. So much rain fell that if converted into gallons it would amount to more than 200 trillion gallons of water, according to the AP.

For the spring season, the contiguous U.S. precipitation total was 9.33 inches, 1.39 inches above average, and the 11th wettest on record.

At least where I live in northern Colorado it rained to some degree every day but maybe two or three across May and June isn't much different so far...just hotter.
 
I think I'm going to need a boat to get to work in a few days if that tropical system keeps the track that models think it will.
