Default Warnings!

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.

To avoid the snow warnings, not a bad idea

The northward moving occluded front is giving snow right across the Midlads and East Anglia now (just arriving in your local neighbourhood around Stoke about now I should think....). In Hertfordshire there is yet another problem of a large number of motorists stuck in snow -I think it was 100 cars between Luton and Hitchin . Patchy snow has been expected in northern and central this weekend for several days now. The warnings seem fully justified and appropriate IMO.

The heaviest snow in last 24h of around 50 cm in the Vale of Glamorgan and In my home city of Cardiff makes me think that area is prone to occasional heavy snow - nearly a metre in January 1945, a lot in Feb 1978 and around 80cm level depth in January 1982. I keep meaning to write up the last of those events - I'll aim for the 40th anniversary!

Julian Mayes
Molesey
Surrey. Now up to the dizzy heights of 3-4cm snow after this afternoon's front topped it up.

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?
