I guess what really annoys me is that we are paying for all this
ludicrous crap at a time when living standards are dropping back to
the levels last seen when we had, occasionally, genuinely severe
winters.

This is where the warnings service goes unfortunately into Nanny State
mode. I file it alongside the "Surfaces may be slippery" on stations
(especially those on the southeastern network) after frost/rain.
