If your a night owl Space x Falcon Heavy is set to launch at 01:07 GMT. Its payload is the secritive Space Force X-37B spaceplane. This launch has been cancelled i think four times now due to weather and tech problems on the boosters (That are recycled starlink Boosters i may add but not the main core (the middle one)) The Falcon heavy is three Falcon 9 boosters together, so it will be bluddy loud. Space x has its head on the block now going for this, i just hope all goes well. Telematary, depending where the payload needs to be the launch is from Florida - thus usually sending the load over the West Atlantic to Europe so might be worth looking up, if you get chance - again its telemetary is unknown the only thing will be be the video feed, unless you have a radio telescope to hand (Jodrell bank?) It could be missed. Anyway, enjoy the show night owls live link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqeM-CWz2Eo

Well, the level 2 did suffice from estofex it seems? Good job on them, woke up from Christmas dinners and they got it right. Torro was sleeping oh wait yes, must be the sprouts. They have a warning. Now? The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO) WWW.TORRO.ORG.UK TORRO is a privately-supported research body specialising in severe convective weather in Britain and Ireland

Squall passing by now, almost passed. Bar a bit of heavy rain in Willenhall. Looks like a fence panel inspection session tomorrow, here at also at my Bro's too as he's in sunny climates in the Med.

Some weak activity across N Mids, a few lightning strikes too, upon looking at the blitzortung radar.

@Sparkiee storm @Arnie Pie heads up!

Significant rain, currently. Outside temp gauge broken due to gusty conditions midday.

Thank god for that, a new page that can load without a multitude of links or heavy burden on browser, to some looking for recent Storm activity with slow internet. @Robert1981 The 3rd one you asked it is the UKMO / Iceland Lightning detection. Or ADT Network. Linky here: https://brunnur.vedur.is/athuganir/eldingar/i_dag_na.html?

Its a old habit for me i tend to look at all convective outlooks, day in day out what ever time of year. Glad that lightning is showing but its the time to be very aware of wind gusts now possible 3 hours of peak activity now.

Update, i was wrong. The small squall dissipated. Im sorry i was to early. A few strikes to Mid Wales just now. Main feature is now the much stronger squall to southern Ireland area bearing North East also giving off some lightning too. Again, i could be wrong but worth keeping a eye on.

I have no idea if cross posts work, anyway a copy and paste might be sucsessfull?

Well, well Estofex has gave a storm warning. Its been windy and gusty at times here, a destroyed fence panel; with the bins dancing around. Weak orange glow again after sunset. Must be the jetstream overhead optical phenomina. Keep a eye on the squall line thats currently entering south Wales i think that was the reason for the forecast from Estofex Quote: A level 2 was issued across parts of far SE-Ireland/NW-UK mainly for (extremely) severe wind gusts but also for a nocturnal tornado threat with a strong event possible. A level 1 surrounds the level 2 with similar hazards but lower probabilities. https://www.estofex.org/

Space Weather Enthusiasts Dashboard | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center WWW.SWPC.NOAA.GOV Running this on a Computer, note the eruption has happend and be looped back. Some minor happenings right now on the UK aroura page: AuroraWatch UK · AuroraWatch UK AURORAWATCH.LANCS.AC.UK See the aurora borealis from the UK Its nice and cloudy here.

I wonder if this launch were Elon's viewing to making the Super heavy? Anyway, the music was by Queen so need i say more Very poor quality im sorry, but somtimes makes it better from ones point of view. Note turn down volume at 2mins 10!

A couple of images took yesterday afternoon as the thaw was going on, used the drone in light rain too - but not for long, i did get higher but the mist base was too low to capture anything decent. I should have got out eairler but i had been awake best part of 22 hours so a nice sleep was on the cards! Short lived but that night was Ace.

Gritters, good point not seen one at all, my ring cam triggers vehicles on the lane, and the Ice warning is now valid after the snow.

Wow, you will see them there, just keep a eye on the solar cycle - as you know the live camers are there. In time ill try send you a few links than might be helpfull, as an amateur astronomer / weather watcher, my old saying is to look up not down, how many do that these days?

Ahh Brilliant well done, note the vertical light pillars too, rare, very rare.

Dead on 0.0c now. Settled snow white over. If i can stay awake 5 more hours (after being up from 4am Saturday) Wil be brilliat photograpy at dawn.

Ace, glad you enjoyed it, flakes looked massive in the vids! The Aroura the other night, i missed it Friday 10pm ish Any luck?

I had to look twice the telecoms wire looks like a cable car run in Austia!

Up to -0.1c (rising) Currently. Snow has stopped, still white over on road, van, bin, roof, patio. The kitchen sink is dry.

@Lisa Martin Thanks for the updates, looks to be much settled and deeper than the last video you sent, hope supplys are in!

Crikey, all we need a genny, lights and music, we have a all nighter here! We already got snow, within reason !

Belter of a night in here folks, ups and downs but more ups than downs, great to see the unexpected snow in areas, just now And all in all your enjoying it, that makes it for me

Cant resist the ol' slipper test! Best i could thow together in quick time, after being up from 4am. That said its still snowing here but upon looking at the radar, conditionds will dissipate - then i think the ice warning will be apparent. Its been a great night in the Mids thread, i have not 'drifted' elseware
