Snowstorm update - 2AM Wednesday

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.

Charleston saw barely a dusting Tuesday afternoon with round one of this New Year's snow event, but more is on the way. Beckley was reporting thundersnow during the early evening, so while keeping a cautious eye on Charleston, I headed up there to see what I would find.

I encountered some extremely heavy snow on I-64 near the airport, slowing to 25mph in white-out conditions with only the guardrail to mark where the pavement was - but I saw no lightning. Back outside now for the next round of snow in Charleston, slated by all of the models to start any moment now. You can watch the snow accumulate here on the StormCam live feed.
