No, there are all kinds of things that are informational that are necessary like what will be open, snow plow schedules, places to avoid due to accidents, locations of warming centers, etc.
I used to dispatch roadside assistance, and in certain winter weather when there’s a driving ban – if you break down or slide off the road, no one is coming for you. Tow trucks won’t drive, and often the police themselves won’t even drive out.

You were right to check, or try to at least.
