    From memory it's just a warning to say it's cold outside.
    I think it triggers at 4 degrees.

    You should see a "snowflake" next to the temperature readout. It is just a "frost" warning. Depending on location it is also a warning that should conditions be right, you might come across "black ice".

    Like you can't tell it's cold already

    triggers under 5C. You can have ice on the road at that temp so it's basically saying look out on shady corners that look a bit damp.

    Mine went "bing" for the first time this season yesterday as well.
