• 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.

White Christmas for 50% of the US?

Popped into Accuweather to check out their latest 15 day forecast and saw an article that Joe Bastardi is predicting a white christmas for 50% of the nation.

GFS and Euro are jumping on the idea of a big weather shift for the US around the 15th of December, the first seems to a southern track storm that takes a Nor' Easter track and right on the heels of that one comes another one that will track a few hundred miles north of the other one and bring snow to the Plains and Great Lakes region, and more storms could behind that until the 1st of the New Year when the pattern shifts to a Winter Thaw.

Really goes in line with the general La Nina winter and spring, big snow storms for Nov and December, a warm up for Jan and Feb and then a last winter grip in March and April before an active severe t-storm season revs up for May and June.

Though i won't agree that a blockbuster winter storm is categorized as a storm that dumps 6 - 12" from D.C. to Boston, more like from Atlanta to Buffalo or something like that.
 
hopefully that pans out, todays model runs didn't show much of anything. half the time it seems like accuweather is more hype than whatever actually happens:rolleyes:
 
Well i noticed the GFS is very inconsistent but the Euro seems to keep pinning a large system around the 12th to the 15th, track and cold air seems to be the problem with that one though.

We will see how things pan out.
 
Wasn't there snow down south and in the SE on Christmas?

I live in southern middle Tennessee and traveled to northeast Tennessee for Christmas. At least for the area I traveled the map is fairly accurate. I was skirting the edge of the snow on the way back on I-40, and when I got off I-40 and headed south back to our house there was no snow.
 
Well, except for the bust in those "small towns" like NYC, DC, and the southern plains. Other than that - dead on ;)
 
NYC didn't have snow on Christmas???????

I think there are a lot of air travelers who would disagree with you.
