Adding Snow Forecast Alerts
-
Can we get an alert option for snow forecast? Currently, the only alert option is for snow already accumulated. When trying to plan a ski trip, it would be more helpful to be alerted when snow is predicted to fall.

The snow alert is a snow forecast alert. Not an alert for the snow already accumulated.
Imagine you set a snow alert for 20cm. If there is already 80cm snow depth at the location, will you get an alert for this accumulated snow layer? No.
But if the forecast is 25cm in the next days, you will receive the alert.
For instance the snow forecast is:
D+4 -> 10cm
D+5 -> 20cm
D+6 -> 5cm
You will receive the alert on D+5 (10cm + 20cm > 25cm) as it is the cumulated snow fall in the previous 3 days.
If you want an alert from the “first snow flakes” you can set the alert for 1cm.
