The UK’s getting its first dose of winter snow today. But rather than head out and trudge through the sludge, why not hunker down with our pick of the best gadgets to get you through the freezing weather.
cool-er eReader
There’s nothing better than hunkering down with a book while it’s snowing outside. And the bargain Cool-er eReader, with its neat, Google-backed store, will see you right while it’s cold outside. Just make sure you don’t get a white or silver one: you’ll probably lose it when you head outside!
Sony KDL-32V8510
The Sony KDL-32V8510 TV packs in Freesat, so it’s perfect for watching HD for free while the weather sucks outside. Indulge in the forecast in glorious hi-def, safe in the knowledge that you don’t need to head outside and freeze in the nasty weather. Plus it’ll futureproof you for next summer’s winter World Cup in South Africa.
North Legion SMX Snow bike
If you do need to venture outside and find public transport has gone the way of British Airways’ Christmas schedule, then this North Legion SMX Snow bike will come in very handy indeed. It has skis rather than wheels, but is best reserved for hurtling down hills. Plus you can take it on your winter hols.
Sanyo CA9
If you want to get into the winter spirit and film the snow coming down, then the Sanyo CA9 is the gadget you need. It’s waterproof, so you can use it in even the most adverse, snowy conditions. You could even make your own amateur version of The Snowman. Just make sure you don’t sing the song in public.
INQ Mini 3G
3′s Twitter-friendly INQ Mini 3G comes into its own on snowy days. You can follow the snow across the UK using #uksnow tag. Stick your post code in, followed by a rating out of ten for the snowfall. That way you’ll know just how bad it is wherever you’re heading later today.
