    Actual headline from the local newspaper's website today: "The weather outside is weather."

    I honestly can't tell if that was a placeholder that they forgot to change (they run a daily weather "story" that's essentially just the forecast for the day) or if someone was trying to be funny because today's weather is unremarkable.

      @ink_slinger I saw a thread on Twitter recently of funny weather headlines from the Edmonton Sun. I think this is intended to be in that vein.

        @Modern_Industrial The Sun and the Journal share a newsroom now, so it's probably the same editor writing the headlines.

          @Modern_Industrial And, in fact, they often run identical articles but with different headlines, since they two papers have different audiences.
