I was just walking to work. Somehow I made the website of the local newspaper.

That's cool! Congrats. The pic definitely shows the amount of snow.

I use an umbrella, too, sometimes. I get weird looks but at least my top half isn't encrusted in a layer of snow lol.

That's cool! Congrats.

Agreed.
As for your query, probably just a slow day for local news, so the editor grabbed that pic as a filler.
