I’m been a bit absent from the blog and some of the other social media sites here recently.  It’s that time of year I start getting geared up for chase season, which “officially” starts for me on March 1st, just 3 short weeks away, as I have media contracts that begin then.  Of course I am up for a chase any time!  All of this has of course taken up a great deal of my time.

One of the major projects that I am working on is the future of Dryline Media.  For those that don’t know, this is my dba business name I handle all my video licensing under.  Things are in progress to take Dryline Media to a whole new level.  I can’t give the details just yet because all the ducks aren’t completely in a row, but I am hoping to make a HUGE announcement about Dryline Media at the beginning of March or shortly thereafter. This will be big for a number of other chasers as well!  That’s all I can say right now! :)

In other news, I have discontinued my association with TornadoVideos.net effective February 1st this year.  This will allow me to do what I am hinting at above.

That said, I have joined up with ChaserTV.com to stream my LIVE ChaseCam for this year, so that will continue to be available! Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter so you can get all the latest updates on chasing plans!

More to come…

01.28.10.winter.storm1

The first winter storm for the southern plains this year is now in progress in West Texas and Oklahoma.  Some interesting weather at my location this morning as I was awakened at sunrise by house rattling thunder and heavy rain.  This changed over to heavy sleet pretty quickly and now we are going back and forth between sleet and heavy snow.  I am located in the pink band in the NWS graphic above.

Many many accidents reported across the South Plains and Texas Panhandle, and some cities already without power.   Roads are very dangerous today. Do not travel unless you have to.  Many schools are closing early across the area today.

I have set up a stationary live camera here in Brownfield, which is about 35 miles southwest of Lubbock, TX.  I’ll also be providing updates throughout the day on Twitter.

Some helpful links to help you get through your day.

A couple of photos of the lunar halo over west Texas tonight.  Was this visible from your location?  Did you get any pics of it?
