• 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.

If you're within a day's drive of the Twin Cities, you might want to seriously consider attending our Minnesota Severe Storms Conference held at the College of St. Thomas downtown Minneapolis campus on Saturday, April 27th, 2019.

This year's Keynote Speaker is going to be:

Dr. Jana Houser, Assistant Professor, University of Ohio, Athens, OH
Dr. Houser is an atmospheric scientist specializing in the study of supercells and tornadoes. Her work is predominantly observational, examining case studies of supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes using mobile and fixed location Doppler and polarimetric radar. She is particularly interested in the rapid development and evolution of tornadoes and their nearby storm-scale features, and how topography and friction affect tornadoes.

Her past and some current research has focused on examining the evolution of rotation from which tornadoes develop, particularly trying to answer the question of whether tornadoes begin aloft or near the surface, and what the source of tornado-strength rotation is
