Stepping down as mod- real life stuff

Supercell

I've been away for a while in China and Trogdor and Weathercheck have been doing a fine job here.

Its been a life changing experience and I've decided to learn Mandarin and concentrate on other non weather related stuff, so I'm stepping down here.
I'm confidant the forum is in good hands and I'd like to thank all the regulars here for their great posts and pictures.

I'll post here now and again still but that will more than likely from China not Ireland.

and your namesake,lovely Supercell Thunderstorms, Canada September 1994
A cluster of large supercell thunderstorms, located near the border between Manitoba and Ontario, Canada, and Minnesota, United States can be seen in this low-oblique view. In North America, most supercell thunderstorms occur over the Great Plains of the United States and southern Canada, where moist, warm, tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico clashes with dryer, cooler, polar air from the Canadian Arctic. Such storms can produce violent downdrafts with locally strong and sometimes destructive winds. Storms of this magnitude can also produce hail and in many cases, tornadoes. A thunderstorm is an intense local storm associated with a tall, dense cumulonimbus cloud in which there are very strong updrafts of air. They occur when the atmosphere is unstable and moist warm air is abundant and becomes buoyant near the ground. The towering cumulonimbus thunderheads can rise through the stratosphere to altitudes of 12.5 miles (20 km); they penetrate the upper cirrus cloud layer in this view.

Wow - thats an amazing pic. You can see in the central part there is no rocks or heather sticking out - just pure white...

Any idea of the exact date of that?
