METO Warnings - what are they thinking?

Jon no offence but the info in those warnings are shockingly bad.
Central Southern England did not get any heavy snow or hail showers
overnight\this morning, and there won't be any 'continuing' or
'commencing' of 'Heavy snow showers' today, and we both know that.
Do we ?! Earlier data indicated the west of Dorset could be at risk
from some pretty hefty snow showers this afternoon and given the
radar echoes currently over central Wales it looks like there's still
a risk. We had a decent snow shower here not long ago, admittedly not
really flash material but indicative of the current instability.
What does puzzle me about the warnings is the singling out of certain
towns as well as regions/areas; as pointed out by Dave C. I'll
investigate this at the weekend.
Jon. (east Devon)
moderate snow shower here 1310-1350Z started as graupel. Intermittent
snow since, became moderate and steady 1700Z and suddenly we have a
covering, also a lot of stiff water around.
Also the Met Office at last accept that Dorset is, by their own
definition, not in the West Country as warnings from Cardiff always
stated, but is in their version of Central Southern England.
