Ladies And Gentlemen: Presenting The Federal Open Meteorologist Committee
One just can't make this up:
- YELLEN SAYS WEATHER HAS WEAKENED ECONOMY IN FIRST QUARTER
- YELLEN SAYS MOST ON FOMC SEE WEATHER WEAKNESS DISSIPATING
Luckily, the Fed is far better at forecasting the weather than it is at micromanaging central planning of a $17 trillion economy.

How can the US take on Putin, when I gets its ass kicked by some snow?!
It wasn't just some snow, it was a POLAR VORTEX (TM).
Yellen and McCain – Thelma and Louise ;-)
Looney
The market has realized that Sophia Petrillo is running the Fed -- and is terrified.
imagine what they would have to say if global warming was real
Yellen is a fucking dunce. The world is watching this idiot with her shady eye movements and unrecognizable speech pathology. No wonder the Clintons love her.... she's just as dumb as they are.
They Are Also GREAT At SMASHING The Paper-GOLD Price!!!
April showers threaten to derail the entire global economy next month.
Did everyone else just see her flub that question bigtime????
Break out the Milli Vanilli CD
Just saw a news report predicting that pollen concentration will be high this spring due to all the snow melt. In case you don't know, that means bad news for gold.
It's great having you back McM!
This Yellen fella doesn't instill much confidence.
Funny I thought the government controlled the weather...?
Is there an equivalent Cropcast of the ES? Just asking.
Funny you should mention that, Crash Overide.
Here is a (short) list of U.S. patents covering the subject:

HERE is an attempt to pass legislation in U.S. Congress that outlaws it:

Heavy spraying over my location, starting Sunday morning. Still going on, as of Wednesday evening. Look for another blast of cold weather in the middle of the U.S., and more snow in the east. My particular global location is historically a 'turning point' of the jetstream, and high and low pressure regions normally duel for predominance. Not so much, since the spraying started. The jetstream is dramatically altered in course now, and has been seen dipping down below the Gulf, and even reversing it's course over the Conus, this winter. They like to drop nano-barium and nano-aluminium as low as 10,000 ft. AGL, and then use one of the multiple antenna arrays to focus their energies at them, causing them to heat up and rise in to the stratosphere and higher. The subsequent low pressure zones draw air in from whatever source available (in winter, that would be the arctic), and high winds going the wrong way (along with the NEW phenomenon known as 'polar vortex') is artificially created. In the meantime, the people get sprayed with nano-aluminium, which mimics iron when taken in to the bloodstream (and is absorbed through the lungs, and even the skin). Iron, of course is what carries oxygen to the brain, and a lack of a proper amount of oxygen to the brain (for example; the whole body suffers as well) leads to several issues, including attention span reductions (A.D.D.) and what they like to call 'alzheimer's disease'.
As an insider, Yellen should know at least SOME of this stuff, so she isn't entirely incorrect in stating that the so-called 'weather' we are having is hurting the economy. When PHD's have to work at McDonalds (and can't get your order straight), this should be a sign...
Yellen mentions weather and ES drops. Surprise!
No No..it was the Iranians and Russians. With some help from those dastardly Chinese..and Canadians (for good measure)
Its gone full Retard,
RIPS
At least they quit blaming Bush.
As the temperatures rise so will the target rate... bitchezzz!!!
damn weather, i hope we dont have weather anymore, its fucking up our economy.
since when have we had this thing called weather on our planet, it seems to be fucking up many things.
Windows are only broken during riots, and riots only happen in warm weather. Warm weather is thus good. - Krugman
And now that it's Spring next up it will be pollen and allergies that will be responsible for putting a drag on the economy.
And when Summer rolls around Global Warming will have a huge negative effect on world economies.
And next fall look out for those hurricanes in the northern hemisphere. Just one of them could wipe out a big percentage of GDP.
Have you considered offering your forecasting services to the Fed?
Looking out the rear view mirror sure hasn't helped their credibility.
YELLEN SAYS WEATHER HAS WEAKENED ECONOMY IN FIRST QUARTER
YELLEN SAYS MOST ON FOMC SEE WEATHER WEAKNESS DISSIPATING
Really? I hope so, it's spring!
Well that escelated quickly.

An excessive amount of snow, rain, clouds, clear skies, cold, and heat have had a material effect on US growth during these winter months. We intend to begin Quantitative Seeding of the skies in order to stimulate performance. -Yellin
I was going to say that the weather should be pretty good for folks like Briggs and Stratton given the demand for snowblowers this time of year, but...

Is it me or has The Criminal Oligarch Cabal Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicate run out of False Narratives?
Willard Scott just appointed Fed governor. /sarc
Could someone correlate long term weather patterns and the stock market?
I have noticed, suprisingly, heating oil prices go up in the winter and down in the summer.
In the winter, fewer motocycles are sold, another surprise....ditto pool chlorine.
Doesn't matter what they say now. Some day soon all paper will burn to ashes when the China implosion picks up downhill speed.
Gold is Ded. That's the one thing that is clear now.
Watch out below.....
I can only suspect there is a photo of FOMC members in shorts and flip flops at a January meeting asking "Why weren't we told about this 'winter' deal?"
Oil 100+.
That is all.
Was there a drop in crime too?
If there wasn't a drop in crime, I'm calling bullshit, and I'm buying a car that gets really shitty mileage.
Fed Forecast: The evening will yield to diminishing sunlight, raising a 60% possibility of darkness for the metro area. Those of you out in our rural viewing areas should expect to see some darkness move in from the east at 18 to 20 mph.
Tomorrow's forecast looks for early periods of increasing sunlight, leading to an 80% chance of full sunlight by mid-day.
Precipitation is expected to be wet.
The near-shore marine forecast calls for ongoing water with periods of waves. Boaters should remain alert for aqueous solutions in and around their craft.
That's your Fed Forecast. Now let's send it over to Barry with Sports....

"...but we're upset by the seasons of our economy."
"You don't need a federal reserve chair to know which way the wind blows"' Bob Dylan said that, or something like that
They're not even trying to cover up the fact that it's comedy hour now, and they never really were interested in protecting the purchasing power of the dollar, but actually to destroy it.
"they never really were interested in protecting the purchasing power of the dollar, but actually to destroy it."
Why would they care about purchasing when they can make up all the money they want?
Further, the real balance sheet, trade balance, is the only true measure, in which case devaluing the USD helps exports (or have you not realized that the entire world is in a race to the bottom in this regard?).
The notion that they're intent on total destruction is a bit silly since their positions of power require the very existence of the USD: and no, I do NOT believe that they really think there's going to be any global currency (and now it should be clear that the notion of a "reserve" currency is fading): the reason I don't believe can be clearly seen in the recent actions in the Ukraine (as if the already collapsing EU wasn't clear enough).
Yellen - you are a stupid fuckng cunt!!!!
The US Guv could pay a chimpanzee in bananas to say what you just said.
Wait, let me guess, the next excuse for market cycles is going to be Nancy Pelosi`s period - the last one had in 1955.
FUCK THESE CENTRAL BANKER BULLSHITTING LIABILITIES!!!!!
Rising Sun:
Obviously, you are incorrect. Nancy Pelosi is a bitchy little cunt whose vanity has led her to Botox injections, so I would theorize that she is ALWAYS on the rag. Insider info from her real-estate/investment/insider dealing husband says go LONG Tampax and Kotex!
Weather, SHMETHER!
Yellin is ignoring the big pink Elephant in the room! DEMOGRAPHICS
A certain age group of Consumers on 3 continents has stopped buying 'stuff'.
People beyond age 50 don't buy bigger houses or new cars or whatever other stuff is available.
Why else are malls empty?
The effectiveness of monetary policy was last discredited in the 1970s. The persistent attempts to revive growth with easy money led to stagflation.
Who remembers the 1970's? It was a time of Stagflation.
The 'Bob Hope" generation entered their 'spend less-save more' life stage. OUR Parents!
It should be clear that the baby-boom is now in the same life-stage.
Not one Politician will admit they are helpless to restart Economic Growth!
They will wait this thing out, just like before.
Even if it takes 11 to 15 years!
"They will wait this thing out, just like before.
Even if it takes 11 to 15 years!"
11 to 15 years for what?
I find it curious that people can even get upset about all of this, especially given we all know that there is NOTHING that the Fed can do. It's entertainment. Take it as that and get on with living.
I realized that about 700 S&P points ago.
Yeah, it's usually people who can't convince their friends and or family that things ARE going to crash, that and or they are still trying to play the markets and are "losing" (poor sports).
I'm only here to get the point across to people that any "solution" they seek cannot be based on growth (perpetual growth on a finite planet isn't possible), that and to get a sense to know when it's time to face the "bright flash."
Remember that saying about repeating a lie long enough. Seems to be concerted effort going on here but that would be a conspiracy and only crazy people believe those things.
As I've been saying (and people don't want to talk about it), THE BIG LIE has been that of perpetuating economic systems that are predicated on the premise of perpetual growth on a finite planet. If people can believe that then how can they be pissed at lesser lies?
Wow, it's like they can predict that spring and summer are coming....it's freakin uncanny!
Going to repost this, as this is quite apropos (and hopefully people will get a good chuckle out of it, as it's from one of the world's greatest comedic actors):

Man, I can't wait for the war on weather. Totally better than the war on terror.
A new paper (Moffa-Sánchez et al) reports that they looked at layers of dead plankton in ocean mud (otherwise known as foraminifera in marine sediments) and have reconstructed the temperature and salinity of a couple of spots in the North Atlantic between 818AD – 1780 with data on ?18O and the Mg/Ca ratios. One immediate thought, an aside, is that if this technique works, there is no shortage of ocean mud, surely, and perhaps we could drill and analyze more mud for solar correlations in other places. (I hear foraminifera live in the Southern Hemisphere too). Perhaps no one is looking for the connection with the sun?
Moffa-Sánchez et al find the big climate shifts (the 100-year variations) correlate with total solar irradiance (TSI). See especially that orange line black line track in the d graph below. I stress, correlations don’t mean causation and the mechanism is mere speculation. But I find the graph intruiging. There are a lot of turning points, and in pure “curve fitting” type of analysis, this is a better curve fit than the one with CO2. (Find me a turning point that matches with carbon dioxide!) I suspect we’ll be referring back to this paper, and I hanker for more TSI comparisons with other sites and regions.
