Earlier this hour, the following weather-related headline appeared on the NBC News Washington Web site:
Moments after I took that screen shot, the headline became, “Drivers Beware, Snow Blankets DC Area.” (Well, um, I guess it does say “beta” up there above the peacock logo…)

You know that the "Stanford Grad" headline had to have been deliberate. Sneaking one past the editor is the only fun they get.
