iOS/Android: If you live in a location where you get a lot of snow, you know that employers and teachers don't accept the "I didn't know it snowed" excuse if you're running late. Winter Wake-Up is an alarm app that solves that problem by checking the weather and waking you up earlier if it snows.


There isn't much to Winter Wake-Up, but it does what it's supposed to. You can set the alarm to wake you up a set amount of time earlier if your town gets a little dusting, or even earlier if you get dumped on. There's also a setting to tell the app to not even bother if it gets too nasty out, but we weren't able to figure out exactly what that one meant. It's a simple app, but it's a great alternative to getting yelled at by your boss when a surprise snow storm hits. It's available free for iOS and Android.
