NOAA has mapped the country with likely weather trends for May, June, and July. The blue “B” band stands for “below normal” temperatures. This tip comes courtesy of Diana, who writes, “FUCK YOU, LA NINA! I’M SICK OF BEING COLD, YOU BITCH!”

  1. the mere fact you included Diana’s quote, i simply hear the sentiment coming from you Holden. and when you spit in the wind, it spits right back. from what i gather, a face full of spit is your best look.

  2. It ain’t the temperature, it’s the clouds/rain. A “below-average” 68 and sunny every day in June and July would be fine by me.

  3. This was made April 21. It says that May/June/July will be below normal. Well, May has sucked, as expected. However, by clicking the link, you will see that their prediction for June/July/August is normal. Let’s not write off the next two months yet.

  4. Gaaahhh.

    I’m not usually prone to weather-based depression, but this never-ending winter is getting to me. What I wouldn’t give for a couple of nice warm sunny days in a row right now.

    *sigh*

  5. Beyond the personal misery we might feel, the real problem here is with agriculture. We’re now looking at 4 straight years of shitty Springs and insufficient Summers. A great way to rebound from an economic recession is to have a few years of bumper crops. A great way to stay mired in a recession is to have successive years of lousy crops.

    Delayed Tulip Festivals, weak apple harvests, reduced livestock returns…. that’s the real misery, and it effects all of us.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Dominic echoes MY COMMENTS – as we all do. We have been winterized for 2 FUCKING years now. And I am FUCKING tired of being FUCKING COLD. I don’t know – maybe you have a ton or so of extra body fat to keep you warm. Dominic and Diana do not.

  7. I don’t really care about the cold, but I do enjoy the schadenfreude of all those bastards in AZ and TX roasting to death. Maybe the wildfires will burn their whole states down.

    I think it’s hilarious how the map suggests that weather just tapers off and stops at the edge of the Great Mexican Ocean and the Great Canadian Ocean.

  8. Hey… I’m doing my part. My Hummer has been idling since February. Where’s this global warming I was promised?!?!? Al Gore is such a lying piece of shit…

  9. @10

    Not really. Farmers don’t want bumper crops because it depresses prices. Supply and demand. I’ve known orchardists to leave fruit unpicked when the cost of picking and shipping wouldn’t be recouped by the per bushel price.

    @15

    I see… When it’s cold, that’s global warming. When it’s hot, that too is global warming. Average temperatures? Global warming, of course. Boy, that’s a neat trick!

  10. @ 18, you really ought not to comment on issues you don’t understand. Not that I expect you to stop, given your gross dishonesty, but don’t think you’re fooling anyone.

  11. @19

    Once again, disagreement politically isn’t the same as lying, no matter how often you tell yourself it is. You might try retaking that ESL course.

    But I do love how ‘climate scientists’ (who actually do lie, and have been documented doing so) get a pass from you.

  12. @ 20, there are tens of thousands of climate scientists throughout the world. How many, exactly have been “documented” doing that? And how many of those instances were in the scores of peer-reviewed studies from the past 40 years?

    Not that any of that matters. The polar icecaps are melting. That’s no lie, unlike claiming that you’ve answered questions on this blog addressed to you when you haven’t.

  13. @20
    Religious adherence, and piety, do not permit the faithful to question the dogma of the clergy. To do so is to risk blasphemy and heresy and possibly apostasy.

  14. @21

    If you ask the same question phrased differently 6 times, the answer is still the same to all of them. Again, that ESL teacher failed you. I’d get your money back and retake the course.

    When I was a kid the whole panic was about the coming ice age. Now the same idiots (literally, the same people) are prattling on about melting ice. Now, if they’re morons with degrees, that’s their business. Having spent 4 years with these morons attempting to brainwash me in the same way they have you, I realize the species is far from uncommon.

    If they think sane people have to give a damn about their nonsense, that’s where I draw the line.

  15. @ 22, you did not. That’s a lie.

    Have you noticed that I haven’t actually said that climate change is man made? All I’ve said is that the polar icecaps are melting (true, and undisputed by you) and that it’s affecting weather patterns in ways climate scientists already predicted (also true). If you dispute that, then it’s not me with sanity issues. You already have demonstrated a strong ability to ignore facts and proof when presented it…

  16. climate change doesn’t give a fuck whether you deny it or not. the model predicts MORE EXTREME weather phenomena.

    like:
    the largest tornado cell ever recorded in amurka.
    the largest Mississippi flood in a 100 years.
    the coldest PNW spring on record.

    but please, keep making jokes and pointing at 1 “flawed” study when all the bees are dead and the pine bark beetles kill all the doug firs and Cascade glaciers melt and our hydro power peters out – because nothing will stop climate change at this point – humans are too selfish.

    me, i just want to grow a fucking tomato again.

  17. @11 Ugh. Sorry about that. I do know the difference, just spaced out that time. Correction appreciated.

    @18 I’ll be sure to tell the farmers who can’t make lease & loan payments because of 50% harvests that they should be happy they didn’t have a 110% harvest. That would have been a disaster. If you hadn’t noticed, the prices of most agricultural commodities have risen in the past few years. Demand is increasing at a far greater rate than the supply. Just having a normal crop would have a huge positive impact. Subsidizing poor harvests just sucks more money away from things like schools.
