UK Snow Map!

If you're on Twitter , help update the UK snow map so that we can all check it out to see where it's snowing and where it's not!

Basically, all you have to do is tweet the #uksnow tag, followed by the first half of your postcode, then the snow rating out of ten.

Key as follows:
7/10 or more - Blizzard!
5/10 or 6/10 - Steady snowfall
3/10 or 4/10 - Light snowfall
1/10 or 2/10 - A few flakes
0/10 - No snow

So I'd tweet: "#uksnow CV22 0/10"

If everyone updates this as the snowfall changes, it will provide a really useful tool to plan travel etc. I'm not sure how often the guy's updating his map [a lot of stuff's blocked at work so I can't seeee!] but as Twitterers are providing the data real time, it's got to be more accurate than the weather man!

Go forth and Tweet!
And while you're at it, follow @shan_o

Update: The app automatically searches for the #uksnow tag and updates the map. So it is real time snow! Haha

You have to post it on Twitter

Hope everyone's still updating Twitter, eh?

JUST TO LET YOU ALL KNOW: I've just heard that Birmingham have 12cm of snow and the M6 toll has been closed down to one lane only.
