In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
Just a quick post to announce that a redesign of the icyroadsafety.com web site is complete. In addition to making the entire site mobile-friendly, all of the main educational sections of the site have been sequenced together in an 'online course' format.
As with past winters, I plan to continue covering road icing events around the Midwest and beyond, as much as finances will allow. There is some possibility of covering the Fort Hill Bridge in Charleston, WV a few times as well, so stay tuned.
As always, I appreciate any likes and shares to the site and its Twitter/Facebook pages. Every share might help someone avoid an accident this winter.
