Bizarre Dashboard message
Saturday night; Snowing, moderately; on the highway, when suddenly, the top info screen,
& the dashboard, posts a message, about Radar devices, being disabled
Also, the break idiot light came on
I figured, the snow was blocking certain sensors
After parking the car for 2 hours indoors, the snow melted, & the messages & idiot lights were non existent
Next day, all was well
In all my 52 years of driving, I've never experienced anything like that
thoughts?

There is a radar behind the huge front Acura emblem (the "A"). The radar provides support for adaptive cruise control and other driver assistance stuff.
When snow accumulates on the A emblem, it interferes with the millimeter wave radar, which will trigger the message.

Agree. it happened to me here in Canada several times. One of the times, I took it to the dealer but there was nothing wrong. Snow and ice build up at the acura emblem affect the radar performance.
