This was my first time experiencing this and just happened to be filming with Derek Weston when it happened.

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.

Great stuff. Also, witnessed it here in Cedar Rapids for the first time. Actually happened 3-4 times. Didn't catch it on film though. Thanks for posting.

We had thundersnow in the Dallas area on January 14th, it's the first I've experienced since living in Boston in the early 1980's. Three widely spaced lightning discharges over about 45 minutes; unfortunately they were so widely spaced I didn't see the flash though one lit up the bedroom. (if they had been more frequent I would have been glued to the window watching for them) The thunder was very loud. At the time we were receiving a moderate shower of graupel.
Eventually the graupel turned to regular fat flakes and swiftly accumulated. Our back yard recorded 3/4" with this storm, a nice accomplishment for these parts.
