HICKS JANUARY WEATHER.. /
A,vulcan storm period covers
the first six days of January, being
central N the Bird. During this
period t. e u APPROXIMATIONS result
ing at winter storm periods will
develop and pass successfully and
progressively from west to east
across the country. In the first
stages of the period change at warm
er and falling barometer will@.be
noted in western extremes. Cloudi-
ness with rain and snow will appear
in the same sections first, and from
about Friday the 3rd, to Monday the
9Th, the area of low baromet1ic pres
sure, cloudiness and precipitation
will pass over the country to the
Atlantic. From. one to three days
before the storm conditions; reach
the extreme east, a. high barometer
and changesto much colder will u
following up the storms Of rain sand
snow from the northwest bringing
progressively a few" days: of fair,
cold weather, before the reaction Of
the next storm sets IN. J.. e.
+. The stars; attached to-" Thursday
Friday and Saturday, the 9th to 18th,
indicate that a return to storm con-
ditions will be due on and touching
these days. The rising temperature,
falling 4barometriee readings, eloudi-
ness and more; rain and snow will
develop and take up their line of
march eastward over the country at
his tim'9;; all followed: in: regular
order by rising barometer, cold wave
and clear weather.
During the passage of very low
barometric conditic MS over this con.
tinent in winter, heavy storms of
snow and billiards. often come at,
short tangents down through Cana
da, two or three days before the Wild
or tangents sweep in large areas ov-
or the central to southern parts of
our country. AT the same time and
under the same conditions, very
heavy gales and storms often sweep
inland from the. Atlantic ocean to
meet the depressed barometric condi-
tions advancing eastward across the
states. Local indications will al
ways show to careful observers
when such results are coming to
those sections, so that no one watch
ing the developments of the storm
periods storm need be surprised by
storms in any extremes of the con-
tinent. The moon being, at south
declination during the disturbances
about the 18th: and 12th,; the cold at
tending and following these storms
will be more general and severe 4
