Haven't stopped by in awhile? Shame on you! Luckily I understand life can get in the way. Here you will be able to see what you have missed. This will hopefully save the trouble of browsing around too long as well as offer an amusing insight to thoughts and ideas I never followed up on. It will also serve as a "time line" of the evolution of this site.

02-16-10: I have returned from Chasercon! What a trip that was, blog has been posted. Photos are on facebook. Also, big news in the launch of ConvectiveAddiction.com! I have been hard at work on this site with other IL chasers, so check it out by clicking the button above! Added a new tornado photo as well. I have allot of post-Chasercon stuff to take care of and things around here are busy.

02-08-10: Tornado photo album added! Changed photo and video pages to fit within header borders, this should make things easier to view. I will be traveling to Denver this week for Chasercon 2010! Site updates will halt during the trip. I may post a blog or two for documenting purposes. Chase season is getting closer!

02-04-10:Major updates have been slow, Ive been cleaning up typos and fixing other minor imperfections I have found within the site. I am also gearing up for the trip to Denver for Chasercon 2010! I look forward to the trip. Also, long range models are keeping us locked in a very cold pattern so there is nothing for me to look forward to weather wise. Dear march, please hurry!

01-25-10: New homepage layout unveiled! Like it? Hate it? Let me know! Also added a stats and fun fact section which can be found under the 'About' section. New blog written.

01-21-10:Multiple radar images from Wednesday's tornadic thunderstorms across LA and TX posted in radar images section.

01-20-10: Radar Image from Tuesdays tornadic thunderstorms in California posted below.

01-15-10: Lightning photo album is now available! A page dedicated to my former chase vehicle has finally been made. A new blog has been written as well, the GFS model has been showing some interesting things for the remainder of the month that has the community in an early chasing buzz. El nino may start revving up the 2010 severe weather season very soon!

01-12-10: Changed up the local events tab once again. Added sub menus to separate thunderstorm logs and more detailed event logs. Had to change the word 'events' to 'logs' due to character limit on the buttons [space is needed for the arrow.] Lightning photo album is finished and will be made available on the next update in the coming days. I will also be changing the album thumbnails to a set size that will better fit the page.

01-09-10: Social networking tabs have been added! Just click to find my site related profiles. Only network profiles that are oriented towards this site are shown. Personal profiles are not linked. More may be added in the future.

01-08-10: Snow chase log now up. Check out the new Misc chase logs section! Also added a new local event for 6-24-09 and renamed the tab to "Chicago Weather events." I added a store tab although I doubt there will be anything for sale in there anytime soon. I wanted to get an idea for how the menu bar would look. Some other updates will be in the near future including social networking buttons on top. Lightning photo album also coming soon! I told ya, there is always work being done around here!

01-03-10: Video page has been updated with video from the lake effect snow chase. Site update archive is now available! Thinking about renaming the chase logs tab to "Storm chase logs" and adding a "Misc Chase Logs" tab to cover things such as blizzard, hurricanes, whatever else. Thoughts?

01-02-10: HAPPY 2010! As many may have seen I went on a last minute Lake Effect snow chase which took me into MI. I'm not sure how I'm going to document it just yet, but look for it in the coming days. It was a new experience thats for sure! The only real updates I've done were to add some photos to the winter album and I wrote a blog about whats ahead for me in 2010. With the holidays now behind I can get back to focusing on regular updates again.

12-20-09: Added 4 new photo albums! One in every category. Also added a page with a little more detailed info on this site. I am also thinking about adding a site archives button to the menu bar. That means all these updates would be moved there after a couple weeks or so, that way the newest information is always displayed here, but for those who have not visited in awhile they will have an easy way to see whats been going on. Thoughts? Let me know!

12-16-09: ALL OF THE OLD CHASE LOGS FROM 2004 through 2006 ARE COMPLETE!

12-14-09: I FINALLY changed the header of the site. The old one was terrible and if you're visiting here for the first time be glad you never had to see it. I like the new one allot. I began cleaning up the 2008 chase logs. I also wrote a blog to document how the recent blizzard affected my city. There will be lots of updates coming soon!

12-07-09: There is allot going on lately! Wrote a new blog with some important news regarding next chase season!Finally got a photo album up in the photos section! In honor of winters arrival I have put together an album of past winter photos I have taken. Ive gotten a decent feel on how to quickly put the albums together so many more will be coming at a quicker pace! Thank You for your patience. I have thousands of photos to share.

This brings me to another idea, lately I haven't been too satisfied with the way this homepage flows with information. I have a few ideas to change things around so don't be alarmed if the orientation changes a bit in the coming weeks. I would like to add a weather bulletin headline near the top that would mention things like upcoming chases or incoming weather systems. The site updates would then be archived a bit lower. If there is anything you would like to see here let me know! This is site is meant to serve you...not me.

INTERVIEW! On Tuesday, July 28th 2009 I did a live interview with the Center of Circulation, you may check out the podcast by clicking here. For those who don't know, the Center of Circulation is a live radio show covering all sorts of weather related topics. I urge you to check it out at www.ipr365.com Some of the discussions are very interesting.
