Overnight snow at the weekend gave the valley a white mantle, but no opportunity for drone flight.
Now, 36 hours later most of it has washed away in persistent rain. Finally, a chance get the Mini3Pro aloft.

Really nice 360 Mr. B.    Very little of the snow left.  Anymore snow coming up in your forecast?

Skies are actually clearing, now that the sun is going down. Probably no snow tonight.

Maybe the skies will be clear when you get up in the morning then.  Clear skies here but wind gusting out of the southwest up to 32 mph.  Nice day to fly a kite but not a drone.

Fingers crossed.  I'm behind with my walks already for this month
I'm pleased that SKYPIXEL seems to be working well, once more.
Just about ten minutes to load this one.

Great 360 looks good - I walked down to the river Mersey this morning I’ve never seen the river so high

Maybe after the issues Skypixel was having they decided to do some optimizations.

You're getting the runoff from our two rivers (Goyt and Sett) and the Tame, all gushing through Stockport and into the Mersey.  Sorry!

Nice - like the viaduct most!

I'll bear that in mind for another time

Nice 360 B

Thanks Aleks.  Skypixel is working again

Hopefully, I didn't just jinx the website by make that optimized statement.  

Lovely Pano. It's snowing here. Just another inch followed by high windes. Looks like I won't be flying. Glad you got something

We've had another snowfall overnight - about an inch. I may try for a flight later if the conditions are right.
It's not yet daylight (07h15) so I can't tell yet.

At least there is a little on the hills left.     And. you got a good stitch.

Yes, the drone did that all by itself
Hoping to get a snowy comparison later.

That will be nice,  dont leave it too long.

It's so dull and grey at the moment - it's like those old cartoon Giles used to do in the Express.
So expressive of the grimness of winter in the 50's and 60's

lol.

Haha. Yes.
Just flown the drone with mixed success.
I think there's a gimbal fault - or it may be the cold.

Nice, I had to move my office. It' cold and windy so I'm not missing much.

Id blame the cold, or grit,    unless its happened before.

It's not fair,  you get all the fun.  

Very nice sphere!

When I trimmed my fingernails catching it the other day, I subsequently dropped it a couple of feet.
I checked for damage and none was visible, but you never know.  It flies without issues though.
Just this intermittent problem with the gimbal.

No more, overnight. Just a hard frost and mist.

That what we had,  -1c and a nice white frost,    and the poor foxes all seemed a bit miffed this morning.

I'm way behind on my monthly target now. I may revert to 100Km rather than 100 miles

Hardly surprising that you're feeling it. A couple of days' break might be in order.

I might do that Saturday,   thats always a harder day as we have to leave for the MIL around 7am so Ive got to be home and car loaded up by then.
