What do you think of this article that appeared in tonight's "Coventry
Evening Telegraph"?

Whatever the merits of the study, where does it actually say that we
are due a "white Christmas"?

Still, that's journalists for you!

To be fair, it's sub-editors for you. AIUI, they write the headlines for
the journalists' articles. The actual article looks to me like it's
quite a reasonable report, apart from the lead-in first paragraph, which
again may well be the work of a sub-editor.

The headline is even dafter when you consider this quote from Richard
Wild contained in the article: "The perception is that we are not
getting the snow we used to. In reality, snow is falling - but it is
falling in unpopulated areas of the country." I wouldn't have described
Coventry as unpopulated.
