It is a nanny state after all.

Indeed. And I imagine that the MO is required by the NHS to put out
these "cold weather" warnings, so that is where the blame - if you think
blame is appropriate - should go.

I was expecting Lawrence to be pleased that the MO (quite rightly)
hasn't put out any of their own yellow, orange or red warnings for snow
