I’ve tested out dozens of weather apps over the years, and there’s one consistent frustration I’ve had with all of them, including Apple’s stock weather app: snow. I live in an area that consistently experiences heavy winter snowfall, and yet most weather apps offer snow prediction primarily in terms of the percentage chance of snow. You can often find more information if you dig more deeply into the app, but not in the iPhone widget or even on the first page of the app. Those of us living with real winters know that’s not good enough. We need to know how much snow to expect, and we shouldn’t have to dig deeply into the app to find out if we’re going to be digging ourselves out of the house that day or just getting flurries.
