• 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.

EMHI says that air temperature tonight could drop as low as -26°F. There is a thread ongoing in Estonian weather forum about it. I would like to ask permission to post the link of the thread since it has meteorological relevance to this condition and it is one of few weather sources around here giving out info also in English.

Air is currently filled with ice crystals, if you stand behind a building and look at the Sun, you can see a light pillar around here right now. My windows are expected to freeze so I don't know for how long I am able to keep the weather cam online(I turn it off if windows freeze or if it is dark outside).

Cold weather is expected to last the whole week.
 
How close do you live to the Baltic Sea? Is this record breaking cold or does this happen every year/ few years? Does the Baltic Sea ever freeze over completely?
 
Estonia's all time record is -46,3°F. Yes, at least once a year, temperature goes to negative Fahrenheits. We had similar cold last year too. Then, air temperature dropped in Laguja down to -24°F. I live 150-200 miles away from Baltic Sea. Estonia is on the eastern bank of Baltic Sea. I haven't researched on the freezing of the sea. Meanwhile, people are urged to take precautions.
 
Interesting. The Baltic's always struck me as having a more European climate, but I guess Estonia is pretty far north, and doesn't get the moderating effects of the ocean like the rest of Europe.
