This chilly April weather appears to have frozen more than just flowers overnight here in Washington — local news coverage has turned cold and stopped moving as well. It’s a bit of a slow news Friday so far, so we’ll take this as an opportunity to give a shoutout to the hard working copy editors on the WaPo’s Metro desk.
