I thought I had read that somewhere but couldn’t find it to save my life.
I’m really surprised Apple allows it. 
I wonder if it’s from their Dark Sky acquisition?
Here is the REST API

So after I submitted a ticket for this issue, Yarbo decided to head out to snowblow the driveway at 2:00 in the morning Saturday morning. At which time it rean directly into a vehicle parked on our driveway (not expecting Yarbo to go out on its own!) and broke an RTK antenna and the high antenna mount. Awesome. At least the left wheel is jammed now, so it cant go anywhere on its own.
Sorry to hear about your continued challenges.
Not that it helps much at the moment, but I suggest either disabling the automatic scheduling, or ALWAYS ensure your driveway zone(s) are appropriately clear of cars and other potential obstacles.

Was it a manual schedule or the automatic snow notification schedule?
No idea as it isn’t logging any workplans or notifications either. 
I didn’t have a manual schedule set for that time, but also until now neither the automatic or manual schedules were doing anything.
I can confirm what is being described here is exactly the same behavior I experienced with one very minor twist (didn’t enable auto also). I have gotten the snow notifications once (two or three weeks ago) and that was not for an amount greater than what was forecasted to be a trace, so I didn’t enable. It never snowed.
The next snowfall and forecast was 8-12 inch’s from last weekend in the Midwest. When we did start getting weather alerts two days before that from NOAA through every weather app I have, I did not get any snow notifications from Yarbo. So, I created a manual schedule, never enabled auto. Was set to go off at 5AM. Same as @OhCanada - still on the dock at 6:30AM and I sent out manually. I also had the same experience as @OhCanada when I created the manual schedule, when created it was Paused then when I hit enabled it took off (this was 10 hours before the scheduled start time like Mr Canada).
Right now, we are set to get snow, NOAA alerts, local news all excited about more snow. Yarbo, not a word.
API issue with your weather service? Location mismatch? Schedule not working for just @OhCanada and me or others?
For me, I had turned on the snowfall notifications, but NOT the automatic scheduling. I thought it was best to get a feel for when Yarbo thinks it needs to do the driveway, versus reality, or versus what I would do.
I ended up getting alerts all the time. Like a spammy amount of alerts. And of course there was zero snow forecast in my area at all. Not even a slight possibility of snow. So after like a week, I turned the alerts off completely.
At the time I kind of wondered if I had the wrong location set somewhere or something, but never looked into it.
EDIT: Just for shits and giggles, I just turned the notifications back on. Let’s see what happens this time.
mine is correct.

I’m wondering if:
A) enabling the auto schedules and or snowfall notifications ignores manual schedules.
OR
B) The return method being not the default for the snow blower is the glitch. IE selecting after completion instead of at set time. The default used to be at set time if I’m not mistaken. Been over a year since I played with that though, could be misremembering.
Either way, definitely seems like a bug.
I would suggest visual crossing or Google:sweat_smile:
I’m using visual crossing for my weather forecast charts and they’re pretty good compared to most weather forecast in the UP.

Hi there, we’re very sorry to hear about this new issue, and we will investigate it further.
Regarding the previous problems, our team has identified that they were caused by a logic conflict: the work plan was paused, but the return mode was set to “return after the plan is finished.” Because of this mismatch, Yarbo became stuck in that state.
We will optimize this logic in the next software release to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you for your patience, and please feel free to share any additional details that might help our investigation.

@bryan.wheeler - I did not have the Auto enabled. Notifications yes, but auto schedule was never enabled. I only had manual enabled.

@Yarbo-Forum - It has been snowing for about 2 hours and we have NOAA Winter Storm Warning issues several hours ago, it has also been updated a few times. No Snow Alerts.

@mike1 Sorry for the inconvenience. We’ve shared recent reports about inaccurate snowfall notifications with our product team so they can work on improving this feature. This issue may be related to limitations or inaccuracies in the weather forecast data source.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we appreciate the feedback.

@mike1 I opened a support ticket about not getting snow alerts. Their response this morning:
We’re working on fixing this issue and expect to have it resolved within 5 business days. We’ll keep you updated on our progress.
