50% of their WTG capacity FTPed due to the cold, it's not clear whether that was blade icing or whatever; regardless that only represents ~10% of gross capacity or about 12GW, the majority of the FTP was good old-fashioned thermal generation from gas, coal and nuclear.

There's an app for that, or Gixen if you're a luddite like me. Pontiac Fiero of crispiness, 850 BINs, Johnstone. Have you considered this one @DodgyBastard? The vendor's been trying to shift this for a long time so may be vulnerable to being bid in the bollocks.
