FAQs
How UK Snow Map works, and how to add your snow to the map.
What is UK Snow Map?
UK Snow Map draws a live map of where it is snowing in the UK, from #uksnow posts on Bluesky and X and from reports sent on this site.
How do I add my snow to the map?
Use the Report snow form on this site. Or post on Bluesky or X with:
- the hashtag #uksnow,
- the first half of your postcode (for example LE65), or a geotag,
- a rating out of 10 for the snow that is falling.
#uksnow LE65 4/10 It's snowing!
What do the x/10 numbers mean?
The rating is a rough measure of how heavily it is snowing.
Why isn't my post on the map?
Posts can take a few minutes to arrive. If yours still isn't there, check that it has #uksnow, a postcode and a rating out of 10.
Posts from private accounts are not shown on the map.
What is the snow hype check?
We check the biggest snow headline of the day against our forecast, and say whether it backs the claim, including when the snow is on high ground only. See today's check.
Do I need to follow UK Snow Map for my posts to appear?
No, but please do: @uksnowmap.com on Bluesky and @uksnowmap on X.
