• 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.

Every year the non-profit Mount Washington Observatory holds a fundraiser called Seek The Peak. This is my first year participating in the hike-a-thon and I'm looking for your help to raise money for the 75 year old weather station.

Please follow the link below to go directly to their site and donate to the Observatory:

For those of you who don't know - Mount Washington is one of the few remaining mountain top observatories in this country. And of course it is home to the world's worst weather. In 1934 the observatory had the highest gust of wind ever recorded at 231mph.

Besides recording some really high winds the observatory is a momument to the weather. Observers live on the summit for 1-2 weeks at a time working 12 hour shifts. They take hourly observations and report them to the National Weather Service. Their website contains current weather conditions, webcams, time lapse movies, short video lessons, and some amazing photography.
