I don't understand why the met office still has yellow snow warnings for
today and tomorrow.
Its not snowed since yesterday evening (and that was only slight) and the
front pushing up from the South is already dying a death.
I would imagine by the time it reaches us there wont be a snowflake left
on!!
Still we shouldn't see another snow warning after tomorrow, thank god!

North Staffs.
Lost count how many snow warnings they've issued this winter and most of
they have produced little or no snow!
As you can gather they really do annoy me

The warning for tomorrow is for ice not snow.
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.

When a snow warning covers a substantial area, presumably the timing for
the warning to commence has to be the earliest time that the snow could
reach any part of the area, which could be some hours before it is
expected to reach the farther edge of the area. You could break the area
down into smaller adjoining areas and give each one its own start time,
but that could lead to a confusing plethora of warnings.
