Christmas afternoon drive

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

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.

Took a couple hours this afternoon to go on a nice drive under crystal-clear and sunny skies. Mainly back roads to Elkview, Clendenin and Amma around I-79 north of Charleston. Very quiet with few people on the roads.

Warmth continues, snow possible next week
Temperatures still look too warm for snow with the upcoming storm system over the weekend. However, the models show colder temperatures and some potential for upslope snow conditions across West Virginia by New Year's Day.
