Bethany Wind Turbine Committee's January Report

I have obtained a copy of Bethany's "final" wind report. You can download it at http://www.effierover.com/downloads/ReportFinal.pdf

Don't know at this time if the town will offer it on their website (they usually do) or what the general reaction is.

Ice Throw, Germany, Undated

Don't know how someone got a photo of ice throw in action, but they did.

Ice Throw Endangers Motorists

(Translated from German)

For Friday the air temperature is continuously under 3 °C and the humidity also over 90% measured. Thus definitely all conditions for ice throw were present.

I found the ice breaking into chunks up to 80 m distance from the rotor masts.

One of the photos shows fragments lying close within the proximity to a public road, smaller ice fragments lay on the road "Lammersstiege".
