December Forecasts.

December comes in on the central day of
| regular storm period. Being within two
davs, and next following the center of a
Venus equinox on November 10Th, We are to
expect very active distu rbances between the
hrst and the fourth. It will grow vely warm
as the storm conditions develope and move
eastward. The barometer will fall to low
readings In westernly regions in the begins
ming Of the period, followed by storms of
rain, with lightning and thunder to the
south, and turning TO snow In central and
northerly sections. Heavy easternly gales
from the Atlantic will blow into the low area
as 1t advances from the west A sudden
aud 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 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 9Th, the cold will
modera.e, and anoCher storm devclupcment
will appear in the west and move to the east
The center CT this disturbance will hinge on
the Stl, 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
ural and probable. Great Cold is almost
sure to follow.
About the 18th westerly regions will have
changed to warmer, windsi in eastern parts
will change to easterly and southsrly, and
renewed stolms of rain and snow will advan-
ce across the Country from west to east
during the IL to the 18th. The storms will
not clear the continent until after the moon s
first quarter on the 18th, but colder. clearing
weather Will dominate tha nd
long befure iC is fel; along the Atlantic. The
weather train ut This and ali other periods
will pass all stations from west to east on
abot schedule time, but storms will not be
prevailing all the way at the same time
neither will be cold. All sections will get
their portions in due season :" Th center
OF reacti"nary 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 mahy places This is near the center of
our winter solstice, and stormy unset: led
weather must be looked for generally, over
running the usai limits OF regular periods,
and intenslfying tho phenumena during the
period,
The storm period beginning about the 2ad
and reaching to tho 18th, promise many
winter storms, and many sections will hav,.
their supplies Of ''Christmas snow grea tly
repIenisncd during the progress Of these
storms. The full moon is on the ED and will
hasten the crises early in the period. The
Arctic wave following the storms will have
very cold weather to much Of the country
by the night Of the 26 h. The equinox OF
Mercury i General with the full moon on
the I'D, which fat is almost u guaran tee tina;
heavy sleet will be Characteristic feature
Of the period, Men Of the wires take notice!
Prepare for great cold after the storms.
About The 29th and 3Oth will fall a reaction
to warmer, and the month Is apt to close
with reactlonary storms wells to the east,
with rising barometer and colder, clearing
weather in sight in the north and west.
