#uksnow Map - UK Snow Twitter Mashup

This app searches Twitter for real-time snow reports and displays them on the map.

Join in!

Tweet the hashtag #uksnow, the first half of your postcode, and rate the snow that is falling out of ten (0/10 for nothing, 5/10 for steady snow and 10/10 for arctic blizzard conditions).

Optionally, you can include the depth of snow (cm or inches), attach a photo and add a description to your tweet.
