• 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.

I woke up this morning to freezing fog with enough accumulation on the trees that they were weighted down pretty good.

And after looking at the visible satellite and seeing a few mountain peaks above the clouds my wife and I decided to take a bit of a chance and drive the hour to Mount Magazine (highest point in Arkansas - 2753) and see if we could get a few pictures.

Mount Magazine is the dark rectangle in the right center

As we got over 2000 feet we suddenly burst out into bright blue clear sky.

I wish we could have gotten there at sunrise as it was kinda hard to make the cloud (man they were bright!) textures visible while still showing the mountains. I have been trying to get pictures like these for quite a while and have made may drives only to have the mountain become overcast itself or have the clouds clear out.

Many more pictures -HERE

- btw Marko, my pictures might have been considered good except you had to post your outstanding pics a few days ago!:mad: I think mine would have been better if not for in my rush to get there quickly I forgot all of my filters.
 
Cool Brian. Man I wanted to head over there (from Marion) a number of times last year, but never got around to it. Are there a number of easily accessible areas to shoot from once you get there? I'd love to shoot it this winter IF Ma Nature would just give us a decent snow fall for a change.

Yeah its got paved roads all over the top that goes to every good spot except the west end which you can walk (i didnt today because of mud/ice). The best part is with the new state park resort up there they really work hard to keep the roads ice free...the roads had so much salt on it that you couldnt even tell you were on a paved road sometimes.
 
Cool pics Brian...I've always wondered about the neat weather effects that highest pt. in Arkansas has. Saw a strong meso go right over that thing back in March '99. I wondered how much wind damage was done at that time.
 
It has some crazy weather up there thats for sure. During the spring storms that get us all excited the wind can be sustained in the 50s and gusts into the 60s...at the elevation I guess its getting into the LLJ during those times. They have gotten over 10 inches of snow so far this year and probably now 2 inches of frz rain. Heres their weather station they have up there > http://170.94.192.8/_stations/magazine/index_graphics.htm
