It’s snowing in London – but the real news is that you can see Crowdsourced live snow updates on a map.

Last year, when London got snow the hashtag #uksnow started.

Also, @benmarsh had the nifty idea to use the hashtag to crowdsource live updates about snow in the UK. Well it’s back and looks terrific.

If you tweet #uksnow followed by the first half of your postcode (UPDATE: and the level of snow on a 1/10 – 10/10 scale | Thanks Steve) , you can become a real-time snow for your area.

Our tweet is: “#uksnow W10
