• 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 apologize in advance if this type of post is not allowed. I wanted to post here, as I'm hoping to gather responses from other experienced chasers. I will be giving a talk at the 2020 ChaserCon, which will focus on how we as chasers manage to balance our passion for weather with the rest of our lives. To that end, I plan to collect & share data & stories about your own experiences with this topic. I would GREATLY appreciate if you could take some time to fill out this survey. Please let me know if you run into problems with the survey, or if a question isn't clear. THANKS!!!

Just completed one.

Also may I suggest some potentially good material for you at this thread, if you have not already seen it?


I came up with the matrix but it was inspired by things written elsewhere by Jeff House. Feel free to use the matrix, but I would suggest editing it with a pun that occurred to me later - change "Dangerous Territory" quadrant to "Particularly Dangerous Situation" or "PDS"! :)

I think this is a really cool project because I have spent a lot of time thinking about this stuff... I won't be at Chasercon but I hope you will be willing to share your presentation online.
