Early spring in early January?: Rain, fog and a few thunderstorms accompany above average temperatures: January 2, 2004
CHARLESTON, WV - A complex and potent weather system moving through the region coupled with above average temperatures is also bringing a few chances for midwinter lightning and thunder to the Mountain State. The potential for thunderstorms will continue through the weekend for West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. Scattered lightning strikes were recorded across West Virginia on Thursday night and Friday morning. Temperatures will hover in the sixties over the weekend before falling to seasonal levels before the work week begins.
Storm Highway video from this event aired nationally on The Weather Channel on Friday (January 2, 2004).

My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of 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.
