• 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.

Supercell in Stockholm

As I just mentioned in the other thread I woke up to a thunderstorm yesterday. We don't really get that many thunderstorms in Sweden, very few tornadoes (mostly water spouts) and very rarely any supercells. It seems however (I'm still waiting for a response from our national weather service) that the thunderstorm that made its way through Stockholm may have been a supercell. Some newspaper mentioned this.

Through the tip of storm track user moerkan I found these radar images from the event:

Watch video >

Although they don't really look like what you are used to from GRlevel it does show signs of rotation. There was a also a waterspout ("tornado") reported in the archipelago outside of Stockholm as can be seen here: http://instagram.com/p/rYhknyrEmz/?modal=true

It's quite difficult to tell if it actually is a waterspout/tornado or not from this rather blurry video but it does seem to rotate so I believe it was. Interestingly enough, this movie was shot by one of our biggest ski stars in Sweden, two time Olympic gold medalist Pernilla Wiberg.

So, a rather unusual event from one of the typically, weather-wise, least eventful places on earth. I was quite happy to experience this :)

What's your take on this?
 
Wow, talk about going OT! LOL I listen to Eddie Trunk's Monday night radio show on Sirius-XM a lot (Rock/Metal... He hosts VH1's "That Metal Show" and is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge). Eddie often gets questions like this, and he always says the same thing:

"These musicians are hurting! If you're a fan of theirs, Google them and then check out their websites! It's so tough for bands to make a living these days. It's not the 80's anymore. Buy their newer CD's. Go see them in concert if possible!"

B1 & B2 are making musicals (Mamma Mia). A1 is a psychological mess, A2 I have no clue.

...aaaaaaand, we´re On Topic again :)

I've never really heard of MCV's but that does seem like it could have been. I've never seen this type of radar image on my chases, but on the other hand I don't often watch the radar motions animated.

I assume A1 is Agnethia? Heard she was living in virtual seclusion in the countryside. Always loved Benny and Bjorn - they played with such enthusiasm and seemed genuinely happy when playing.

An MCV is basically a thunderstorm complex that rotates around a common center. Looks kind of like a tropical storm over land.
