Storm Eunice - 18th February

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 -

Isn't there a point where it's too windy for them to operate safely? Just asking. -
Wonder if @Osbourne One-Nil is out there?

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!

Red alert issued... UK Sightings on Twitter. https://twitter.com/frenchscotjeff/status/1438985359086473216?s=19

Yep thunderstorm tracking SW to NE over South Staffs/Wolverhampton.

Best here so far this year ...
-
Plenty of tweets of UK sightings tonight. Sadly clouded out here. #noctilucentclouds

Been under the streamer now for a few hours. Not been too heavy but settling nicely. PXL_20210210_001637238.mp4

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.

Marco Petagna's (from the Met Office) recent tweet looks promising. https://twitter.com/Petagna/status/1356927542918344705?s=09 -
11cm here on South Staffs/Shropshire border. Local river Worfe feeds the Severn near Bridgnorth. Heard reports of 13cm in nearby Telford.
-
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.
