The whole of Fuse is abandoning ship as a mighty 1cm of snow cascades from the skies.

The UK's obsession with the weather seems to be bringing twitter to a grinding halt and the roads are clogged with people leaving work early.

Here at Fuse we've been hooked on Ben Marsh's #UKSnow map which is a Google Earth and Twitter "mash-up" showing the slow grisly progress of the snowfall around the UK.

Twitterers are invited to tweet their postcode and a 0 - 10 rating for the snowfall in their area.

The result is a realtime map of snowfall which updates every minute and also includes photos and messages from the various twitter users around the UK.

Thanks to the person who tweeted and coined the phrase "snowpocalypse," genius!
