Reminder: If it's snowing where you are, post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode and a snow-rating out of 10 (x/10) and help draw a real-time map of where it's snowing right now on uksnowmap.com ❄️

Multiple location outlook now out on the latest version of the UK Snow Map app! Add up to 5 locations and see the % chance of snow for the next 10 days. #uksnow

Working on a multiple location outlook page, to give 10-day #uksnow chance for up to 5 locations. Trying to keep it simple but useful… Does this work?

The new snow forecast map feature is out in the latest version of the UK Snow Map app. Click the cloud icon bottom right and slide to see 4 days of #uksnow forecast. Tap the key labels to toggle layers on/off. Version 3.8.0 in the App Store and Play Store now.

Adding snow forecast data into the UK Snow Map app for when it’s a bit quieter! Still working on the details but here’s how it looks at the moment; hourly forecast 3 days ahead, ability to toggle on/off falling snow (white), snow depth (purple) and general precipitation (blue).

Sneak leak of a first draft of adding snow depth and snow falling forecast data to the app. Copying the WXCharts colours as I think they are familiar. Purple = depth. White = falling. #uksnow

Looks like London is getting a bit of #uksnow! Add your report to uksnowmap.com if it’s snowing where you are - hashtag #uksnow, first half of your postcode and a snow rating out of ten

Do you prefer a percentage based chance of #uksnow on the new Outlook tab, or keeping it as the existing x/10 scale - this is for the outlook tab only!

Potentially could be a bit of #uksnow around tonight and into tomorrow. Looks light at best but if it is snowing where you are post your report and it will get added to the map at uksnowmap.com

Working on a #uksnow forecast feature for the app. The idea is to simplify a number of contributing snow factors down to a single "snow-chance" number (out of 10, obviously!) without getting too bogged down in the detail.

Next app update - added a label when there’s no mapped reports to make that clearer, and added a better photo viewer so you can swipe between photos. In review with Apple and Google now, should be released in the next few days. #uksnow

So this is something I’ve been considering for a while, would be interested to see what everyone thinks… Should the @uksnowmap app have an in-app snow reporting option? This would mean you don’t need to send a #uksnow post on Bluesky / X for it to show up on the map… Thoughts?

Thanks for your suggestions - have gone with "UK Snow Map" as this had overwhelming support. #uksnow

Help me out Bluesky… which label should show under the app? #uksnow - or - UK Snow Map

Made a couple of tweaks to the way #uksnow reports are pulled in this evening. Images are now being imported correctly again, and there's a duplicate detection system that hopefully means anyone cross-posting over different platforms will only have their first post pulled in.

A quick reminder on how to contribute to uksnowmap.com ahead of any possible #uksnow tomorrow 👀 Post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode, and a snow rating x/10 and help draw a real-time map of where it is snowing in the UK.

The #uksnow map app has been updated to remove mentions of X / Twitter and to link out to Bluesky instead. Updated Android app available now, iOS should be available in the next 24 hours once it clears review. ❄️
