When the snow came down last February there were some brilliant mash-ups on twitter using Google Maps.
This year has been no exception with Twitter often being a better place for snow and related traffic and travel news than anywhere else.
The Webcredible press release talks about the Met Office's new weather mapping system with interactive functionality - again, a good thing.
So, if the Met Office can harness the power of community, combine some of the real time information out there with the scientific stuff and make it easy to use - we might more accurate forecasting.
* While we were nosying around the Met Office website we found some other good news for travellers - an iPhone application and this - a deal with easyJet to provide weather briefings to help staff anticipate weather-related delays.
