It’s the end of the anemometer as we know it…

We’ve had really quite cold north-easterly winds for the last few days, and fairly strong with it as there’s absolutely nothing at all to provide shelter from that direction. I noticed the anemometer for my weather station was looking a bit lop-sided yesterday, but it was still spinning too fast to be able to see what was going on. Today the wind has subsided somewhat, which is much more pleasant and allowed me to get out and get some pictures.

Enlarged, if it’s not clear from that:

I’ve always fancied building a solid state anemometer, so perhaps now is the time. Or perhaps I’ll just rebuild a new spinny one. 3d-printing replacement parts surely shouldn’t be that hard?
