Winter Storm Juno: Blip On Economic Radar?

ECONOMISTS AREN’T SWEATING BIG BLIZZARD …

|| By FITSNEWS || Remember last year when a severe winter storm decimated first quarter economic growth?  Because we do.

Well guess what … that pesky “global warming” is back.

Winter storm Juno is the latest, greatest meteorological threat to the U.S. economy … and as the system prepares to dump two feet of snow (or more) on the northeast, analysts are beginning to assess its potential impact on our “recovering” economy.

“This will most likely be one of the largest blizzards in the history of New York City,” Big Apple mayor Bill de Blasio said. “This is not a typical storm. It’s going to pack a punch.

So far, economists don’t appear to be terribly concerned, though …

“Based on the timing of the storm (we) suspect the impact on the January employment data will be near zero,” an analyst for Stone & McCarthy wrote.

And what about February?

“As for the impact on the February payroll and household employment data we wouldn’t expect much of an impact,” the analyst noted.

Concurring is Joseph A. LaVorgna – who is Deutsche Bank’s top U.S. economist.

“Given its late month timing, winter storm Juno is unlikely to have a big impact on the economic data,” he tweeted.

Hmmmmm ….

In other words all those people who are out of labor force … will remain out of the labor force.

Of interest will be Juno’s impact on retail figures for January.  Last month was an unexpectedly terrible print for retail – and a second consecutive weak month could conceivably be blamed on a storm like this (even if Juno is affecting a smaller area of the country than last year’s “polar vortex“).

Global warming, ha! I mean sure there is more water in the atmosphere more often in winter making bigger snowstorms the norm but God, not higher heat in tropics make the water rise in the air! Liberal scientist call the heating of water that rises in the air “evaporation” but that sounds like the Devils things to me.

It was the hottest year on record in 2014 ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/01/23/sorry-skeptics-nasa-and-noaa-were-right-about-the-2014-temperature-record/ )….

According to NASA’s own data via Remote Sensing Systems(RSS), the world has warmed a mere .36 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 35 years (they started measuring the data in 1979).

Hardly anything to panic about; however, that does mean the world is warmer, right?

The problem with that argument is that we experienced the bulk of that warming between 1979 and 1998 . . . since then, we’ve actually had temperatures DROPPING!

You mean a 38% to 48% chance that 2014 was the warmest year on record, or at least that’s what NASA and NOAA say.

Read slide 5. It clearly shows the chance of the warmest year ever being 2014 as 48% by NOAA and 38% by NASA. There isn’t enough data.

Looks like Mother Nature is going to dump a couple of feet of Global Warming on New York City.

Road Apples.

More cold records were set than warm records. More precipitation records were set than drought records. The Antarctic ice cap expanded to record levels. The Arctic ice cap was as big as any in the last five years.

The only place showing a warming trend was the Ocean surface temperatures near the Equator … Which coincidentally happens to be where all of the NOAA cruise ships spent most of their time.

Hey, gooberment spends money on cruise ships for global worms and what do you suppose they report? Weather? … Or scary weather?

“More cold records were set than warm records”
Really? Can I get a reference? Is this for the world? The Eastern United States (I could actually believe that)?

Erosion of the coast… warmest year… floods… hurricanes…

I don’t understand if things are so bad, why it’s so nice in *here*!

It appears the Gruber-ment mentality has infected the weathermen.

Fear mongering aside, how many actual, serious storms have hit the East Coast in the last few years? … Sandy? … Katrina? … “Juno” = LOL!

“Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it”?

Looks like those computer models aren’t what they’re cracked up to be, except of course for runs on grocery and liquor stores.
