Meteorological office snow map of observations from the general public

I found this the other day on the meteorological office website:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/observations/snow/map.html

It's a map of snowfall over the UK, and you can contribute information from your own areas.

It's only as accurate as the contributions people make, so if their finger slipped and they missed out the decimal point, then it'll be a false reading. I still reckon it's an interesting map.
