• 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.

Mods, if this doesn't belong here, please move it to a more appropriate location.

I figured I'd start this year's off-season fun and games by starting the "guess the name of the date when this was seen" game. Guess the name of the date that this radar image was obtained. (Note: I purposely translated the image from its original location to keep people from guessing it based solely off of location.)

Radar game - 2009/2010 - #2

This one may be a bit trickier, so I'll start off with a hint: there are anywhere from 3 - 6 embedded (some tornadic) supercells in this cluster.

Looks like the 4/13/06 event in northeastern IA.

Crap! Beat again. But yeah, this looks like that Iowa City event. Assuming this is correct, I was stuck at work during the event, but intercepted the main tornadic supercell as it continued on well after 2-3 a.m. I believe I finally called off the chase around 4 a.m.
