Weather Update – December 16, 2022
The big dramatic snowstorm is here 🌨
Big whoop, whoop, whoop, look at the high temperature locally. But it’s supposed to cool off later. Maybe I’ll leave work early. Certainly going to take the local to work and home, so I’m not trudging through the slop. I had the option to work from home, but I didn’t want to use more of my hotspot data up, especially as I’m off all day next week, plus working in the office gives me more of an opportunity at lunch time to get at least some of my steps in by walking the Concourse and the Museum inside. Much too icky to walk outside, unless things freeze up, and then it will be icy.
At least after the rain, ice, snow slop mix, it should warm up this weekend, which should hopefully keep the ice from accumulating too much. And maybe it will be gone in a day or two. That would be nice, especially if I have next week off and want to do some skiing or getting around without microspikes.
First half of the week doesn’t look too bad for winter camping, assuming I’m prepared to deal with snow and get a snow shovel to dig out a parking spot.

Opinion | The Root Cause of Violent Crime Is Not What We Think It Is – The New York Times
And yet, as I have learned over more than two decades of work in this field, the black hole narrative cannot be changed by statistics alone. If you want policies that actually work, you have to change the political conversation from “tough candidates punishing bad people” to “strong communities keeping everyone safe.” Candidates who care about solving a problem pay attention to what caused it. Imagine a plumber who tells you to get more absorbent flooring but does not look for the leak.
Because the old narrative is so ingrained, candidates often assume that voters agree with it. But common sense and recent polling show that a majority of voters are concerned about crime and also supportive of changes in how we keep communities safe. This has fueled thousands of local innovations across the country. City governments, community groups and nonprofits are comparing notes on what works. And organizations like One Million Experiments are tracking innovations aimed at producing scalable solutions that do not rely on punishment. Reducing crime and reducing reliance on punishment only seem incompatible if you accept, as the narrative black hole dictates, that police and prisons are the only solution.
