  1. Seen here earlier this evening in North Wales ...
  2. Nothing here tonight but managed to get a glimpse of some colour between the clouds last night.
  3. Finally managed to get some dancing Aurora here in South Staffs/Shropshire... Some stills and time lapses..
  4. Someone's a Local Hero! (One of my favourite films) https://twitter.com/bnb_inn/status/1533848456816730116?t=1iP0UpFgUvXwXgxrre72IQ&s=19 https://twitter.com/bnb_inn/status/1533848456816730116?s=20&t=6IRMMNvvUDi2EltUEoI9VA
  5. Just seen this on my twitter feed.. scary stuff. https://twitter.com/peacockreports/status/1494056539149193221?t=MdQGNgvXUvQcDjPlYg1oog&s=09
  6. Should have Googled it first really! "When the anemometer registers wind speeds higher than 55 mph (cut-out speed varies by turbine), it triggers the wind turbine to automatically shut off to prevent damage..." https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/how-do-wind-turbines-survive-severe-storms&ved=2ahUKEwjyjZnZqoX2AhUMQUEAHdqaBDYQFnoECCEQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3oKw2Q4oR-FdoF3noI_65Q
  7. Isn't there a point where it's too windy for them to operate safely? Just asking.
  8. Wonder if @Osbourne One-Nil is out there?
  9. It was expected, but not quite so soon, and loads of sightings up North. Apparently it was 2 CMEs rolled into one.... From Spaceweather.com CME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A cannibal CME, described below, hit Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 3rd at approximately 20:00 UT. Solar wind data from the DSCOVR spacecraft show a stairstep structure indicative of two or more CMEs pressed together. A moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm is underway now, and the storm could escalate to category G3 in the hours ahead. Typically clouded out here!
  10. Red alert issued... UK Sightings on Twitter. https://twitter.com/frenchscotjeff/status/1438985359086473216?s=19
  11. Yep thunderstorm tracking SW to NE over South Staffs/Wolverhampton.
  12. Plenty of tweets of UK sightings tonight. Sadly clouded out here. #noctilucentclouds
  13. Been under the streamer now for a few hours. Not been too heavy but settling nicely. PXL_20210210_001637238.mp4
  14. My memory of streamers is that they can be very narrow. I've known a good few centimetres of snow 5 miles both to my North and South and to have nothing where I am.
  15. Marco Petagna's (from the Met Office) recent tweet looks promising. https://twitter.com/Petagna/status/1356927542918344705?s=09
  16. 11cm here on South Staffs/Shropshire border. Local river Worfe feeds the Severn near Bridgnorth. Heard reports of 13cm in nearby Telford.
  17. Could only manage 11cm here in South Staffs. There had been some settling and a slight thawing during the day so it may have been more! Not a bad result.
  18. Nice display this evening in Scotland. https://twitter.com/EilidhCarr/status/1348758003516891137?s=09
  19. Last night Shropshire got constant lightning but tonight there's flash flooding with it. From last night....
  20. I managed to get some nice clear shots last night.... (Google Pixel 3aXL Night Sight/Astrophotography mode)
  21. No noctilucent clouds tonight but the comet is clearly visible where the clouds should be!
