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 was from The Washington Post:
During the month the jet stream, a strong high-altitude wind that guides weather fronts from west to east, stayed unusually far to the north, keeping the coldest air in Canada and Alaska, the agency said.
Keeping that cold air to the north allowed mild Pacific air to moderate temperatures across the contiguous states, leading to the warm conditions.
However, the jet stream is now sliding into a more typical winter pattern, according to the Climate Prediction Center. The February outlook calls for below-normal temperatures in the mid-Atlantic, the Southeast and intermountain West, and above-normal temperatures in the Southwest, the northern Plains and Alaska.
At least people did save on their heating bill this winter. I'm not looking forward to summer here in Central Texas. It's been warm enough during the winter, so I can just imagine waking up in the morning in June to 80 degree temps

Chris, thats not the ONLY thing I'm worried about. Talk about the lack of rain.. I'm sure the rationing during the summer will be unheard of..

The lack of rain is really hurting us. People saved on their heating bill like I said but now their water bill has gone up because they have to water their grass because it's so dry. IN JANUARY! Not to change the subject, but I watched the standoff on the news tonight in Dallas when the SWAT team supposedly threw a teargas canister into the apartment and it caught on fire. Good thing it wasn't a fire danger day in North Texas. They could have lost that thing quick. I'm used to not having cold weather around here because we never do. But month after month with no rain has to stop. I don't know what I'll do if I see rain again.

There's a hint of smoke smell in the air from a fire north of here on the Mogollon Rim. It's so rare to have a wildfire in February since the higher elevations are usually snowcovered that the fire is named, simply, the "February Fire". No precip in sight around here.
