• 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.

Snowbelts of the Great lakes continue to be dumped on this Fall. Northern Michigan snow belts generally have snow on the ground about 50% of the Winters. This has been and will likely continue to be a very snowy Winter with the weak La Nina pattern that has set up.

Couple of pics from Antrim Co, Michigan where about 16" of snow are on the ground.

Nice pics...I'm jealous! I need to move to a location with a bit more snow.

How much time to get that much snow?

Yeah well..if you do..you find that there isn't many supercells to chase as a rule! (I think the only exceptions to that are probably the Front range in Colorado and perhaps the Black Hills..ie 2 very snowy areas that are adjacent to some nice chasing areas. )

It started to snow around November 9 and has snowed on at least a dozen days since with snow totals close to four feet in a small area between Mancelona and Gaylord. (Lot of it has melted, compacted etc.)
Keep in mind that the snowbelts are very narrow so only about 1 county area has actually seen a lot. (Inside the white area next to the 160) http://www.crh.noaa.gov/apx/snow/snowfallAvg.php

I am expecting as much as 2 new feet to fall starting tomorrow through next Saturday as really cold air finally heads South across the border. I will probably head back up here in this area next weekend to drive around and take some more pics.

See below: Note-most of the homes in this area sit empty all Winter-most people have enough sense to fly South for the Winter!
