• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • 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.

This afternoon's Special Weather Statement from FGF (Fargo) mentions significant snowfall potential.

SIGNIFICANT SNOW IS POSSIBLE ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA...NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE AS NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASE BY MONDAY. IN ADDITION...WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP WELL BELOW ZERO BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

The GFS appears to be the only model really bombing this one out...the others are considerably weaker. However, HPC is leaning GFS and I am beginning to think GFS has more credibility at this point despite the fact its an outlier. I am unsure about the severe aspects of this system for now, but people are starting to mention a decent accumulating snow across the Midwest.

Is it just me or have the past handful of systems tracked very similarly. This one is further north (according to the GFS) but still...the Upr Miss Vly and Wrn Great Lakes are in the bullseye. Hopefully this is a sign for winter, I'd like to improve on the past 3-4 years which have been somewhat lackluster. :)
