What in exclamations

In my student's book (new headway - upper-intermediate,4th edition) is written that What in exlamations is constructed in 2 ways - What a /an +(adjectiive) + singular countable noun and What + adjective + plural or countable noun and there are few examples:
What fabulous shoes () , but What awful music! , and music is uncountable noun. Another example is What dreadful weather! , where weather is again uncoutable noun. Why is this ?!

My exact question is about the grammar,not about the weather. The rule which is written is what+adjective+plural or countable noun, but in this examples I see What + adjective + uncountable noun...... and this makes me confused.

All you have to do is correct the rule in the grammar book. What + adjective + countable noun is not possible.

EDIT: It's not possible in exclamations
