I regret to announce that the Chase Hotline service has been cancelled for the remainder of 2009 except to VIP customers. The Chase Hotline has been seeing business decline precipitously over the past few years due to the widening reach of mobile Internet and the ongoing recession. This has made it increasingly difficult to spread the costs around. I can no longer offer Chase Hotline services in the form of low-cost subscriptions and discount plans. From here on out it is strictly a meteorological consulting service.

For those with a large budget, VIP Chase Hotline service is still available, however it runs about $90/day (discounted for multiple days). This is expensive but quite literally you're buying my time rather than just signing up for a plan. E-mail me at this link if you would like to obtain VIP service and have your own forecaster on call 12 hours a day.

It is unfortunate that the Chase Hotline cannot continue as a budget service as in past years. This is just the nature of technology's onward march. I am grateful to those of you who supported the service through the years, and I wish you the best of luck in your chase activities.
