Are you saying you've missed all the snow? The snow here in South
Oxfordshire hasn't been particularly deep, but it's obvious that
other areas have had deep snow.

No we had around 7 cms yesterday, what I'm saying is why has there
been a snow warning for this area for today (from 10.30) when it's
been dry all day. The front coming up from the South has only
reached this area in the last hour. The snow from it is slight and
patchy, surely doesn't warrant any snow warning?

The general opinion amongst my acquaintances in the village here is
that the severe weather warning service is a waste of time. That's
certainly my experience. In the great majority of occasions when a
warning covers this area we do not get the severe weather. When we do
get genuinely severe weather, more often than not there is no warning
current. In my opinion, the Severe Weather Warning Service, as it is
currently operated, is not fit for purpose.
