• 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.

Winter has been aggressive for my area lately. The Upper snake river plain has almost 2 feet of snow at the moment from 3-5 storms in the last week and a half. Convergence events have also been a huge culprit of all this snow and the worst has yet to be seen.

The Local NWS Pocatello's earlier forecast Mentioned a Possible Blizzard warning and Have issued just a Winter Storm Watch for now. Possible blizzard like conditions expected Saturday Night into Sunday with winds from 25-40mph with stronger gusts possible and 3-6 additional inches or even more. latest Models and Satellite trends indicate an intensifying storm. Currently the concern is for White Out conditions with Significant drifting of snow. Hazardous weather outlook stating if you have to travel that it is not recommended.

This could be a particularly very dangerous storm since this weekend alot of people will be returning home from Christmas vacation and Highway and road closures are expected to be widespread. I will be taking photos and documenting Via Video and will also be updating this thread if my Internet allows (wireless internet wont hold up I think) with white out conditions.

Will Follow up later this morning after the NWS updates there forecast and watches and warnings. Stay Tuned....

Blizzard warning in effect from 11pm tonight into Sunday evening. Main concern again is for Blowing snow with 25-40mph winds with gusts to 60mph. Not much snow expected from the storm, however the powder like snow will easily be drifted with the winds and will create white out conditions along with widespread road closures. The area for Blizzard warning will be the Upper Snake River plain and Upper Snake Highlands. Snake Valley has a winter storm warning also in effect from 11pm thru Sunday evening.

stay tuned.....
