Discussing this publicly is not my intention. I tried to be vague so only Envoy pilots would know what I was alluding to. That page saved me a few times when I first upgraded, as I did not even know it existed until my first winter as Captain.
I understand your concern, and my own apparent contradiction. I will delete it if it gives too much info.

555 can change to NIL in a matter of seconds. It’s always up to the PIC.

They were calling 18kt winds with no gusts only a few minutes after the event.

I hear you. It’s very frustrating not knowing how slippery it is under your toes.
I was once told the FICON report was 555, and just below it was a PIREP saying braking action poor to nil with 500 foot from running off the end of the runway.
It’s all up to us i suppose.
It’s frustrating

5/5/5 my stinking a**.
They ran off the runway before the point where tower called "medium to poor". So I think they had a reason to believe the action before that was "5".

It's a shame one of the busiest airports in the world can't provide a FICON that's less than an hour old, especially when PIREPs are calling for much worse braking action.
