Hello,
Sorry if there is any confusion, but we were doing a daily road conditions post in the winter. Each post was clearly labeled with the day, and not meant to be permanent, or updated. I think that’s fairly clear from the headline, and the article. Part of writing news is realizing that things change, and that what you write one day, will be different the next. We cannot go back and rewrite old stories, no only would it be incredibly time consuming, it would be somewhat dishonest. If I rewrite this story, I’d have to rewrite approximately 90 others, just on this subject.
Traditional newspapers don’t have this problem because you throw them away. On the internet you just have to look closely at the date.
