Blame the Weather - Again
Killings and shootings are looking good for the first third of the year. Fielding an extra 400 cops a night have some effect we're sure. But we have no doubt the bigger impact is the weather:
- Next week will be May and temperatures will be in the 70s. But first we'll have to get through this April, and that means yet another chance of snow.
Tonight's temperatures are expected to dip into the low 30s, bringing the possibility of snow showers after midnight, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Allsopp.
[...] April has been cloudier and colder than normal. And it is now officially the wettest. As of midnight, 8.54 inches had already fallen this month. That beats the previous record of 8.33 inches in April of 1947.
So the thirteenth coldest winter on record (global warming?), and now the dampest April on record. Maybe the drought has finally lifted? McCarthy will be right up front for that credit, too, no doubt.

The weather in your backyard does not determine the weather of the world.....
Heard the Department is coming up with a Rainfall Ribbon to be worn next to your Violence Reduction, Attendance and Democratic National Convention Ribbons. This way Barb West and Maria Pena have a few more ribbons to add to there collection without having to actually do anything.
hmm let's see what Mr. peabody and the wayback machine show
in april of 2011 we see
30 homicides.
in 2012 it shows a shade over 40 homicides
the average april/2011 temps were around 47.7 F. in april of 2012 we were over 50 and that shows about oh 40 homicides.
we are 19 homicides for the month of april/2013
When the bodies start dropping, they will find an interesting spin to it.
Happy Quadricentennial SCC! Yesterday afternoon's shooting in Englewood marks the 400th person to be shot & wounded this year.
