Any chance of snow?

I thought you said summers where April and May are both cooler than normal usually feature a cooler than normal summer?

Analog for upcoming summers when it snows in Central Park in May?

So it snows in November and May, but not December, January, and February?

Could NYC see a flurry or two?

If this verifies, I will never complain about this winter again.

Uh... what?

Is this going to be like last year where we have a -NAO through the Spring and Summer which gives us a warm, hot summer again? I can't even begin to imagine how bad this summer is going to get.

This is going to be such a fun summer.

Wow

Shades of Chernobyl. The State didn't want scientists to spread anything that in any way shape or form disagreed with the official position of the State. It's easy to see where Trump gets his behavior from.

I still wonder why Dorian wasn't upgraded to a Cat. 5 sooner. Every single piece of data showed it being a Cat. 5 and the NHC refused to upgrade it until they could no longer wait. Very odd behavior.

We also can't create a consensus that the world isn't flat or evolution isn't real. We shouldn't let those that disagree with science hold back our progress.

I'm answering my own question. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2012/01/why-noaa-commerce-department We should create a cabinet level department that houses Climatology, Geology and Meteorology and move NOAA and the USGS there and create some kind of new organization that deals with climate change.

Why is NOAA under the Dept. of Commerce anyway?

This story just got 10x worse.

One of the things we train on is to dispel inaccurate rumors and ultimately that is what was occurring — ultimately what the Alabama office did is provide a forecast with their tweet, that is what they get paid to do.”

Obvious trolling is obvious.

*Lying

He's from NWSBirmingham Meteorologist

Our tax dollars are being used to attack the very people whose job it is to help save lives. This is horrifying.

wtf?

When is this shit going to stop?

This banter thread belongs in the hall of fame for banter threads: True or false?
