I have got the mini 2, when I added the strobe light it came in at 248g, if you weigh yours before hand you may find even though it states 249 it weighs less with battery, use the difference for your light.
it has been stated on a few forums regarding weights with strobe lights etc. and it does make it easier at 120meters, you cannot see it the thing at that height at night
I know i tryed it the other weekend at 120m can see everything on the controller, but he drone looks lik a house martin 1 mile away!

Flown it a few times now in dark, but often ice starts to build on the propellers so have to be careful.
I have the Mini 3 fly more combo but with the controller that attaches to the phone. Which model have you got?
I have the mini 3 fly more with the dji controller, 3 batts leads etc

I have flown mine a few times in the dark, what i have done is purchased a bright anti collision strobe light which I can remove helps with locating it in the air, also lights all around the garden so it is lit up like a Christmas tree to aid in locating base navigating landing
Thank you, but one question would the aid of lights overshoot me on 249g? It has lights on the port side and a downlink on telemitry to the controller in live video, so if i dont go daft i still know where i am - i know thats easyer said than done when at 120 meters high!

The word BLOB is ace, reminds me of a heavy (Maybe even fortean) drum and bass tune by Hospital Records i posted into the MOD thread many years ago, its called the blob. Listen in silence or have the full wrath - sums it up especially the telephone when the GFS is mixed up the GEM or whatever! Light heart comedy.

Thanks for the reports currently on going...
Just to note, the temprature is rising here minus 0.8c seems the norm when cloud and precipitation is due.
-
Like i said, the Welsh marches does have a infuence to the midlands, note the line on the recent radar.
It will break through this time, i hope your bins and lamps are up to the job!

Its nearly 8pm the more heavy(er) conditions are expected 11pm onwards.
I just hope the precipitation dont clag in the Welsh marches.
I will jinx it now with this ready and waiting!

Yep, good post, it can easily be 9c by night and 15c by day in recent December's. I've enjoyed this cold spell whatever happens tonight. But I'm lamppost watching as I type...!
On to lampost watching, recently had LED lampost's here, bar the orange Tungsen? I wonder what one will fair better upon the visual display of the art of lampost watching, we shall see.

Well it could be worse.
The weather could be drizzly rain at 9c !
But its not, so hit or miss these next few hours be rain, sleet or snow. The latter i hope, but what we get is what we get. Nowcasts and the watchers are critical now, at least for the next several hours or so.
Enjoy it this is it, its happening night now.

My bad, the post by me ive added the image just a fyi.
Still going to be up for a long nighter, like when the first snowflakes start falling, be it lampost a bin, car, you know.

Just having a wonder about on 'Windy' ECMWF showing this for midnight, seems to follow the trends on the above snowfall areas that many of you have posted, and a big thanks for that.
-
The fog was quite impressive in the early hours of this morning, the dencity of the air made things so silent, quite hard to explain but i would say, simalar to how conditions sound when its snowing - weird.
Anyway, its snow watch time !

Minius 2.9c *from* -4c On the Thermo.

Still snowing, but the one and only thing i miss is my little departed friend you see in my av photo. He liked the snow and his little paw prints are here no more. This is when it hurts a bit.
Ok A lot.
