4) We need to have a practice SIMULATED SEVERE WEATHER NET, ONCE A WEEK, AT 8:00 P.M. EVERY WENSDAY UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER, then it will be changed to every other week until mid-September where we will cease practice for winter. Now weather is always unpredictable and the chances for severe weather will always be possible during the winter months. We will only activate for the severe life threating convective weather. Not thunder-snow. but all reports of total accumulations or storm damage related reports will be acceptable, and can be reported at -

Precipitation core. Here is a pseudo "wedge" -- possibly a convincing mimic on a day where the ambient weather conditions and the structure and evolution of this storm did not favor production of large "wedge" tornadoes.
