I love seeing generally credible news sources occasionally succumb to some completely subjective language use.*
Dreary? Really? Can such a word be reasonably employed to quantify precipitation, cloud cover, and temperature?
Not that I can disagree with the pithy poetics of CNN's meteorological assessment: I expect that it will be quite dreary indeed.
*It's worth noting that this forecast lasted only a few hours before replacing "Dreary" with "Showers"— perhaps someone took greater umbrage than yours truly. . .
