• 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.

SE Michigan - February 2015 is One of the Coldest on Record

Our average high temps usually hover in the low to mid 30s during February, but like many locations in the Midwest and Great Lakes region, 2015 has been a pretty significant departure from normal.
Of note: Flint tied a 36 year old record for number of days below zero with 11. Detroit had 10, as did Saginaw with ranked 2nd and 3rd all time for those two communities. The average high temps for all three cities also only averaged in the mid to low teens.
The culprit is the persistent ridge/trough pattern and with the dawn of metrological spring upon us, early March looks to deliver much more of the same.

I've had at least 5 mornings up here (Elk Rapids, MI.) with at least -20f and one morning at -28f .... on a good note it's only 100 degrees away from beach weather :)
 
You know it .... in 22 days my ass will be in the sand with a drink (or two) in hand! We need it!
 
We could use it ourselves. Aside from some family gatherings over the holidays the last few years, we haven't had a real vacation away from things, with no agenda, except to just chill... we're chasing the Plains in late May/early June, then re-newing our vows in Vegas in July :). Next year is the big 50 and we're going back to Vegas for Viva-Pyromania in Feb/March, and then probably to Hawaii in the Fall. Enjoy brutha!!!
 
I checked and Lansing was nowhere near its coldest February - an average of 4F set back in 1875. Several days had lows < -30F! I did a cursory search and didn't see much happening in the weatherworld that explained such cold.
