When I get either a Calendar or Reminders notification, I have the option to 'snooze':

reminder alert with snooze

I would like to be able to say something like 'remind me in 10 minutes' or 'remind me in 2 hours' (much like the iCal notifcations used to allow in <= 10.7).

Is this possible?

Yes, Apple failed to include a multi-time snooze feature in the Mountain Lion version of Calendar. LIke you, thousands of us would like to have this feature back.

Go to www.apple.com/feedback and tell them. I did. If enough people point out this omission, they will address it sooner than later.

Power in numbers!

According to this answer in the Apple Discussion Forums, it appears to be no.

Yes, that drove us crazy too, so we wrote a menubar app to have control over snoozing the Apple Calendar alerts. Check out "SnoozeMaster" on the App Store. Hope everyone likes it?

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer: please explain why you're recommending it as a solution. Answers that don't explain anything will be deleted. See Good Subjective, Bad Subjective for more information.

Busycal seems to be the main contender for the throne and it has a 30 day trial. I am about a week into my trial and I was fairly sure I was going to buy it within the next day or two as it is at a reduced price til the end of the month... until I went and looked at SnoozeMaster (which is only $2) and which seems to do the job - so I'm off to buy that instead.

update: Bought it and it seems perfect - much better than the old Apple iCal one in Lion as you can set any times you want - and certainly better than Mountain Lion as that is totally unusable! Just sent them an email request asking if they would add an option to put off alarms until 9am tomorrow - that would be perfect.
