This is your final warning to wear a warm jacket tonight! Temperatures will drop to near 40° F in the city (perhaps even a bit lower) and well into the 30s in the interior tonight. It will be cold on Sunday morning.

Joking about not winning the Nobel prize in lit is one of the oldest gags on this site. A sturdy little bit, widely deployed once a year for 2 decades, while everything else here now is dedicated to defamation, public meltdowns, misreading polls, engagement traps, and fake videos
