UK Gets Snow and Makes/Shares Maps

The UK has quite a bit of snow today, something not too common. The last big storm was in 1991, per Bloomberg. But, that means some interesting maps!

The first map I found was a great traffic map from Trusted Reviews - with nearly 400 traffic jams - provided by a TomTom with traffic info.

Next is a map built from tweets coded with post codes evaluating how "good" the snow is on a 1-10 scale. I'm not sure how to evaluate "good" based on my US eastern and midwestern snow experiences. Here's the discussion (Pocket Lint) of the Twitter/Google Maps mashup that builds the map.
