Well, I just google for certain themes and this one came up under "snow tree painting"...@CountBoredom ..I'm really likin' the Winter Paintings ...I'd be interested to know the artist , if you are inclined to post here or Pm.Thanks.
The link says the artist is named "Tom Brown" if that is any help.
Fuzzybear Thunderhead to the rescue! Er, sommat like that... I could write you a whole book on this subject and, in spite of modern science's progression, we still don't know everything we need to know about tornadoes. I did write a short tutorial for some "cow farmer friends" on another forum that wanted the basics of weather recognition and prediction (how to help yourself kinda thing, given that the National Weather Service is seldom right about anything anymore) that I could post here (in segments, like Tigger's stories - IF GMO and Uncle approve) or I could e-mail it to you (lots of drawings, so it is in MS Word format). It is not just about tornadoes, but includes all weather - including hurricanes, basic frontal system recognition, etc. Just let me know...Interested to hear your sageness on the subject of tornado behavior.
You have to read the fine print on Google Docs and several other sharing sites - what you put there is theirs to use how they see fit and while I have nothing proprietary in this document, I just plain refuse to "give it to them." Once upon a time I downloaded Sketchup because I do a lot of things in my shop that need good pictures and that program is very easy to use, but after I finally managed to read my way through all the fine print, I deleted it and refuse to use it because NOTHING IS FREE to those people - they can and will use and [potentially] make a profit from your work. It is their program, you didn't pay for it, so what you draw with it is also theirs. Nope. Not gonna play that game. Now, granted, if I post the document here, they also will lay claim to it because, essentially, ECF has given them such rights in order to get free use of their software. That means all the photographs we post here are now public domain, but if I post that document here in segmented form (i.e., 10 or 20 short bites), it would be more trouble than it is worth for them to reconstruct it. Did that make sense?
1/7 - 1: Good morning all, Agreed Ranger going to double up. Aikan we can go storm chasing together some day, that has always been on the bucket list. Good prayers and vibes to those that need them. Time to roll; have a good day all.
...went outside to leave for work this morning and the car wouldn't start...no wait, it would start, but only run for a second or two and then die. I called my son and luckily he was off work today and he came over to look at it...we ended up having to go to Auto Zone to rent a code reader ($150 just to rent it
...luckily you get that back) and found out it has to do with the theft deterrent system and it shuts the car off whenever you try to start it...the module appears to have gone bad...my son found a work around that let us get the car started, but it's only a temporary fix because whenever you turn it off, you have to go through the procedure again, which takes 10 minutes...we took it to a mechanic that we've used before and they are going to run diagnostics on it and let us know for sure what is wrong...but they warned us if it is the module, we'll have to take it to the dealer because they have to recode it or whatever...which means the fix may be way more than the car is worth...since it's the bf's car, he'll have to make that decision, but it's looking like I may be without a car for a little while.
...This has not been a good start to the new year! 
Oh so true - AZ is like 99% rural (geographically - I've been all over it and Dog forbid you break down because it could be days or weeks before the next car/truck comes by). I was a weather forecaster at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, for a couple years (1972-73) and can attest to everything you said. I saw some super nasty thunderstorms on RADAR back then that had to have tornado potential, but they were nowhere near town so no one seemed to care. And we had a B52 get it's tail fin (vertical stabilizer) blown off by a lightning strike coming in over the mountains. Also had a dry wash near where I lived that was 40 feet deep fill up totally in only a couple hours during thunderstorms. If you were dumb enough to drive through a dry one during a thunderstorm, the wall of water could wash you into the next county.
1/7 - 2: Howdy all and such a chatty day again. So much to say. Congrats on 4 years!!! @liblue1 @angelphyre I am so sorry, good vibes and prayers your way.
@Fuzzy Thunderbear or however @KatzWh1skers says it; yes on posting it somewhere. What a great discussion. I vote tornadoes, microburst, lightning and whatever; then let's go to volcanoes and lava.
@rangerrobin you need to post more, even if it is not for the contest.
Wish you were closer to me angel, I'd let you use my car. Let one of piggies coworkers use mine after she got in an accident. She smokes and no ashtray in my car. She threw a but out the window and got a citation to go to court for littering. Was only a $50 fine and court costs but wow she had to go to court. Aren't you glad you vape. And yes we are trying hard to get her to start vaping but with little luck.1/7
1. So my week just keeps getting better
