According to the Rev. Irl r. Hicks
we are to be served with some genuine
wintery aspects during the month of
February, comprising sleet and snow
with blizzardous winds from the north
west regions, and brisk dashes of sting
ing cold weather. The first storm per
iod for February is central on the 4th
covering the I'd to 7th. Wintery, disa
greeable weather will follow this period
up to the re- dictionary storm, central on
the 10th and 18th. The next regular
storm period may be looked for from the
14th to 18th, and the hardest storm for
the month will appear about the Goth;
the closing storm for the month will
come on the 9th. In most cases these
storm periods will be followed by falling
barometer and warmer weather. II
