If we do have a power outage my weather station has a battery backup and stores data until it can be downloaded to my PC. <br />We’re still waiting for the arrival of storm Doris. It’s 09:00am (Thursday morning) and the worst of the storm is due over the next 9 hours. The storm developed in the Atlantic last night off the west coast of Ireland and will track eastwards across the UK and out into the North Sea by the end of Thursday. I think we will get the worst of the weather through Thursday afternoon. <br /><br />Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245774393957298668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-36299884718877617342017-02-23T05:14:34.884+00:002017-02-23T05:14:34.884+00:00I see that you have had a power outage.

I plan to put my first ones in during the early part of March (in containers, which are easier to protect from frost if need be).Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-26118769539240471272017-02-22T13:00:33.423+00:002017-02-22T13:00:33.423+00:00Mine aren't doing anything just sitting on top...Mine aren't doing anything just sitting on top of the refrigerator.
