Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

An innovative American virtual reality project enables burns victims to re-focus their senses from pain to pleasure, and relieve their suffering.
Researchers at the University of Washington HIT (Human Interface Technology) laboratory have devised a program using 'cold imagery'. This takes patients into a 'virtual craggy arctic ravine' where igloos, snowmen and fishing polar bears are targets for the patient's snowballs, which are controlled by the subject's gaze and a handheld trigger.
The research is claimed to induce a 30% to 50% reduction in pain.
