Because snow is white and black can't hide in snow :)

THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM.
It is not an issue with the equipment/radars used. They can tell amounts, where, light snow, freezing snow (sleet).
The NWS meteorologists have has some awesome equipment, which can put it down to the last 1/4 inch of where and when.
Check out your local NWS for SKYWARN CLASSES, and learn about what goes on in your areas!

Doppler radar can be used to make such predictions.

Laser speed guns can target ONE specific vehicle, where radar may read one of several vehicle. Laser is harder to detect in advance, and harder to jam than radar.
Doppler radar is used to track potentially tornadic storms.
Eventually it will, when that will be is harder to predict.
The average snowfall in Marion, Ohio is around 22 inches per year. Snowfall can vary each winter season, but this average can help predict typical snow accumulation in the area.
RADAR does not predict storms, it detects and tracks them after they form. However meteorologists can use this tracking information to predict where the storms may move to more accurately than they could without this information, allowing better warning times.
The strong radar used to predict weather is commonly referred to as Doppler radar. It measures the velocity of precipitation and can detect motion within storm systems, allowing meteorologists to analyze storm intensity and track severe weather events. This technology is crucial for providing timely warnings for tornadoes, thunderstorms, and other hazardous conditions.
Weather radar devices electronically convert the reflected radio waves into picture that show the location and intensity of precipitation and the speed of the wind.
I recommend checking a local weather forecast for the most up-to-date information on snowfall in Aylesbury. Snowfall in a specific location can be difficult to predict accurately ahead of time.
