IS
The Month as Prof. Hicks Forecasts It.
Not So Worse. ~.
Prof. Hicks thus forecasts the
weather for the present month: With
the exception of a Mercury period ex-
tending over the central parts of the
month, November is comparatively
free from storms-producing influences.
The second STORM period is central
on the 9th and 9TH but the full moon
falling on the 9Th will bring an early
elimination Of whatever disturbances
may occur at this time. Things to
look for: Nothing out of the usual
order is probable at this period. A
fall OF the barometer, higher tempera-
ture, cloudiness ending in more rain,
and turning to snow and cold, north
erly winds northward, will be perfectly
natural, and all who find it desirable
to conform their plans to weather con-
ditions will do we'll to figure on such
things at this time. Crisp, frosty
weather will come in on the northwest
ern rim of this and all other periods
in November.
Third storm period regular.-This
period runs from the 10th to the 18th,
being central on the 18th. Some of
the most active and disagreeable
storms Of the month are probable at
this third period. Things to look for:
About the 10th it will turn much
warmer, winds will turn to southerly,
the barometer will begin falling in the
west, cloudiness will rapidly ensue,
and rain will follow These areas of
rain will pass eastwardly over the
country from about Thursday, the
18th, to Sunday the 18th, being fol-
lowed up closely on the west and
north by temperature that will turn
the rain to sleet, causing heavy coat
ings of ice on trees, shrubbery, wires
and all exposed objects. An early
November blizzard is not at all impos-
sible at this time. Unsettled, disa-
greeable, threatening weather will
probably continue beyond the limits
of this third period.
Fourth storm period-reactionar
This period will eliminate on the
10Th, in connection with the new moon.
The 18th to 10Th is the normal time
of the period. Things to look for:
Threatening, frosty, sleety weather
will most likely hold over from the
third storm period, running into the
fourth period, but about the 18th storm
conditions will intensity and more de-
cided rain and snow storms will ap-
pear in many parts of the country.
From about the 10th, beginning in the
west and the northwest, look for rapid
rise of the barometer, high northerly
winds and change to quite cold. Most
parts of the country, even to the south,
will feel the force of this cold wave
between the 18th and I'D. Watch and
see.
Fifth storm period regular. -This
period extends from the 22d to the
9th, being central on the 9th. The
moons first quarter falls on the 9th,
and the moon is on the equator on the
18th, which facts will greatly tend to
prolong the disturbed elements beyond
the limits of the fifth period, if not en-
tirely into the reactionary period at
the close Of the month. Things to
look for: The cold weather will
break up as we enter into the fifth
storm period, the barometer will be-
gin falling in the west about the 23rd,
cloud areas will form in the same re-
gions by the 24th and rains will take
up their progress eastward, passing
quite over the country to the Atlantic
in the days Immediately following.
1t is a rare exception when the tenn
perature does not rise, with cloudi-
ness and precipitation in many parts
of the country, about the dates when
the moon passes over the celestial
equator. The 18th being such date,
we may reasonably expect a continual
ton Of threatening and falling weather
over the 18th and into the reactionary
days at the end of the month.
