looks like miners are withdrawing till PoW diff issue is sorted
time per block now 2 min 15s and hashrate dropped to 195 mh/s

From looking at the chain it looks like a bunch of PoS blocks are being generated. Some only ten seconds apart. My guess is that there is a large amount trying to stake right now so it is crowding out PoW.

do you know how long this will continue for?

According to my munin graph, it's ending from what I understand, so it should be going down and down

It started at 10 (GMT+1) this morning, and "finished" around 17. So I will guess around midnight it should be normal.
A lot of miners seems to have left, so the diff should be even lower than before.
