We (in the upper Midwest) are in the grips of some cold weather right
now. This is not surprising, since the last week of January is
statistically the coldest week of the year.

Honestly, will this "Nanny State" we've created ever right itself?
We're paying hundreds of meteorologists, in the employ of the Federal
Government, under the auspices of the National Weather Service, to
issue WARNINGS TO DRESS WARMLY...

It is to weep...

The nanny state lives. Roadside signs are (at least to me), the most
common expression. E.G.: "Bridge May Ice in Winter", "Slippery when Wet".
Who knew???

Imagine the possibilities for signage. At the beach: "Don't look
Directly into the Sun.", "Sun Exposure causes Skin Cancer", "Danger:
Water"...

The possibilities are endless. I think I'll start a sign business.
