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.

The models are indicating a good amount of QPF overspreading rapidly falling temps over North/South Carolina and Virginia on Saturday afternoon, yielding potential snowfall totals over 8 inches wherever the heaviest banding and the freezing line sets up. The GFS and NAM/WRF models currently show a very heavy QPF (precip total) swath over central and eastern NC by midday Saturday in association with a developing low on the coast. Frigid arctic air will be pushing in from the northwest behind a cold front as this precip passes by, with temperatures dropping through the day on Saturday to well below freezing by midnight.

How soon temperatures fall and the exact timing and coverage of the precipitation swath will determine who sees the greatest snowfall totals. Currently it appears that the rain/snow line will set up across central NC and eastern VA, with rain to the east and heavy snow to the west. Raleigh, Greensboro and Winston-Salem all have the potential to see significant snow with this storm. This will be a somewhat rare event that this region only sees once every few years, so I will definately be watching this system's progress.
