I would say, inspired by your manhole cover post @Salad Dodger , metal surface road 'furniture' and white lines are a risk we all take account of on every single ride: I'm saying they are NOT 'low level.
Very high likelihood; moderately high hazard: so definitely up the right top corner in the risk matrix.
Control measure/mitigations = constant attention and deliberate avoidance; if unavoidable momentary deliberate maintenance of velocity: non-operation of brakes, stay straight and ease off power.
Good luck to those close to the eye of the storm today.

Crocodiles. A strangely understated hazard.

Would a lot of there be weather/season dependent?

Likelyhood of being sideswiped by a low flying wheelie bin high today.
I left the bike at home and drove to work

Snipers. A good reason to eschew a rear light at night.

Marathon pluses & a steel frame - they shouldn't be a bother

good point
however, the trick might be getting to the bike bit with all your limbs still attached - sharks can be quite unreasonable when it comes to obeying the rules of the race organisers
probably because they can;t read

The tend to be rare in Widnes as far as I know
Of course - if they are really good then maybe no-one knows they are there!!!
