Nennor sends TO the Albany lryts his
weather prediction for December as follows
december will, in all probability. open
with little snow. but the weather will be
cloudy threatening snow falls. There will
probably be some snow from about the ith
OF the month. With the second quartz. of
the month colder weather will probably set
in with falls Of snow, but good sleighing
need not be expected until after the middle
of the month. There will be a spell of mild
weather about the 18th and liih. After a
brief interval Of mild weather. during which
more snow will fall, the third quarter Of the
month will probably see clustering and cold
weather. The last quarter of the month
will bring miider weather. but will terminate
probably with heavy snow falls and stormy
weather in fact, the heaviest snow falls Iill
be toward the end of the month, and snow
blockades may be looked for, the snow falls
extending far to the southwark. possibly as
far as Washington, with very stormy wealth
er around New York and Boston"
