December Forecasts.

December comes in on the central day OF
a regular storm period. Being within two
DAYS; and next following the center of a
| Venus equinox on November 10th, we are to
expect very active disturbances between the
first and the fourth. It will grow veiy warm
as the storm conditions develope and move
eastward. The barometer will fall to low
readings in westernly regions in the begin
ming Of the period, followed by storms Of
rain, with lightning and thunder to tho
south, and turning to snow in central and
northerly sections. Heavy easternly gales
from the Atlantic will blow into the low area
as it advances from the west. A sudden
and severe cold wave will rush in behind The
storms, and by the end Of the period say
the 4th to the 9Th the whole country will
feel a touch of the wintry blast. 1t will be
be prudent to prepare against possible bliz-
yards northward, during the storms of this
period. About the 7th and Sth, the cold will
moderate, and another storm development
will appear In the west and move to the east.
The center Of this disturbance will hinge on
the 9Th, or within Is hours OF the time Of the
new moon. Heavy gales, especially on lakes
and seas, with much tendency to southern
cyclones and northern billiards.. will be nat

sure to follow.
About the l2th westerly regions will have
changed to warmer, winds in eastern parts
will change to easterly and %southerly, and
renewed storms of rain and snow will advan-
ce across the country from west to east
during the II to the 10th. The storms will
not clear the continent until after the moon 8

long before 1t Is felt along the Atlantic. Tho
weather train" at this and all other periods
will pass all stations from west to east on
shot schedule time, but storms will not be
prevailing all the way at the same time
neither will be cold. ALI sections will get
"their portions in due season :" TIL: center
Of reactionary disturbances next after this
period will be on and touching 18th and 10th
about which dates It will turn warmer and
renewed storms of rain and snow will result
In many places. This is near the center of
our winter solstice, and stormy unsettled
weather must be looked for generally, over
running the usal limit OF regular periods,
and intensifying the ~phenomena during the
/ period,
The storm period beginning about the ed
and reaching to the 18th, promises many
winter storms, and many sections will have
their supplies Of tChristnas snow greatly
replenisnsd during the progress OF these
storms. The full moor II on the 22d ind will
hasten the crises early In the period. The
Arctic w.ve following the storms will have
very cold weather to much Of the country
by the night Of the 18th. The equinox OF
Mercury Is central with the full moon on
the 22d, which fact h almost q guarantees that
heavy sleet Will be q characteristic feature
Of the period. Men of tine wires take notice!
Prepare for great cold after the storms.
About the 18th and 3Oth will fall q reaotion
70 warmer, and the month lis apt to close
with r~eacti0nary storms well 4 the east
with rising barometer 4 colder, clearing
weather AZ sight IN tile north and west.
