PREDICTIONS FOR DECEMBER
Rev. Ira Hicks Says the Month viii be One of
Storminess

In predicting for the weather condi.
tions for December, Rev IRA Hicks says
the month will contain many storms and
billiards, The first storm period is CEN
tral on the 1st, 2nd and SD. By the first
well defined storm viii be advancing
over the country from the westward
changing to sleet and snow as 1t reaches
the eastern and central states. Freez-
ing weather will prevail after these
storms for a few days. TbJ regular
storm period extends from the 9th to
the 10. A change to much warmer will
be noticed in the west by the 9th and
general storms of rain will move east
whrd over the country turning to snow
with strong probabilities Of a December
blizzard. While electrical storms are
probeble at first, look for sudden and
sweeping change to much colder, cover
ing with ice and sleet and bringing a
cold waze out of the northeast.
The third storm period begins on the
18th and extends to the 18th. The prob
abilities are that very rough weather
will continue after the prees ding period
and decided storms of eleet and snow
may be counted on from the 12sh to the
10Th. The fourth storm disturbance,
from the lTth to the 23nd, Will bring
storms of snow in the north and rain in
the south Blizzards will be experienced
in many parts of the country and will
be followed by cold y ave lasting for
several days, Il will be natural for
SQUALLS and storms to continue from the
period to the 25th and 26
Beginning on the 28th and lasting
until the opening days of January will
occur the sixth storm disturbance which
will bring more stoi ms of rain or snow
and followed by much colder weather
The general suggestions of the month
will be summed up as follows there will
be oped and bright days during good
share of the month but viii be quickly
followed by severe storms Bieekades
of sleet and snow will be encountered in
the northern sections and rivers OF the
south will be flooded with rains.
