Right. Would have been more like:

Schools closed after overnight temperatures plunge to -13C and weather warnings are issued
I'm confused about the timeline here. Do the schools really need a weather warning after closing?
-
@DogsB Why does winter always seem to surprise people? It happens every year.

The last few winters we had were pretty mild, compared to this one.

This is probably due to things freezing up, not things being blocked by snow.

I'm guessing the implied operator precedence is:
Schools closed after (overnight temperatures plunge to -13C and weather warnings are issued)

I've already ranted about that once elsewhere but a good rant is a repeated one so I'll have another go here.
Why are people complaining that newspapers are reporting news? Yes cold weather happens every year and yes schools close (or roads are slippery) because of it every year. Does that mean nobody should talk about it? It's the role of news to tell you what's happening around you, this is happening around you, they tell you about it. Stop complaining.
Or, alternatively, if you think this isn't newsworthy and they shouldn't report it because it's trivial, then start complaining about all other un-newsworthy news items. "Viral social media post by local boy/girl/dog/... got 10 likes" WTF how is that newsworthy? "Police arrested a drunk guy" wow so original, never happens. "Local sports club did some sports thing, here's a live update every 2 min because you need to know that Joe Random Player moved on the field" is more newsworthy than telling people schools are closing?

Holy fuck! Look at how angry that cat is! I hope the cat shreds her owner when she gets out.
-
@DogsB You're cheating! There's no way you could see how angry the cat is by reading the headline. Heck, I couldn't even see it from the onebox, I had to (shock, horror) click through to the article to confirm your claim! Won't anyone think of the ?

Sounds like advice or instructions.

I thought it was spelled âhuman slave scumâ based on how cats treat me.

My cat likes detangling my leg hair with his teeth. I don't have enough leg hair for it to tangle.

@izzion If they had mentioned 900 seconds that would have been a SI unit, but it would not have been an improvement.

Convert to standard units and then to a distance by multiplying by the speed of light. To get just under 270 million kilometres. That's a long way for a bin to be blown by a storm, unless it is a solar storm and the bin is in space.

That's not something you would know from reading just the headline.
Not insomuch as it applies to this event, anyway.

Does reading the one box summary count? Though, honestly, it would be the obvious first inference for me just from the title because it seems to be the most common way.

@Arantor I'd say it counts, but I had to follow the link to be completely sure.

A social media post claims to provide urgent doctor's advice to stay in bed for three and a half minutes before getting up.
Dangerous typo. They meant three and a half hours.

Isn't that still pretty standard for a marriage? I hear in 2024 there's couples where each has their own, but I thought sharing one was still the most common case...
