• 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.

The snowiest place on Earth?

Mauna Kea/Loa are just a little too short given their low latitude. The upper slopes/summit spend a lot of time around +5C or so. While that certainly bumps around enough to get them occasional snow, the majority of their precip is rain.

And the majority of that Precip falls at the 7,000-8,000 foot level. (Trade Inversion)

I have not looked into this more, except that I have seen nothing in the model data to make me doubt the original conclusions. I am not aware of any actual observations for the snowiest mountaintops... remote and unforgiving spots to both man and machine. I would say that the models in question are not statistical at their core, although stats were used to tweak precip totals for elevated terrain.

Cristobal colon is extremely remote and rarely visited. #2, Chimborazo, is a pretty rough place up high but it is fairly commonly climbed. Although you won't find a snow gauge there, you would be able to talk to people who have been there if you want to go that route.

Hello again and belated thanks for your reply. I'd like to refer to your modelling in my snow book - am I allowed to know what the M stands for in MClarkson? Apologies if I already asked. It's been a while.
