A reactionary storm period. the
first of the month, is central on the
Bird, 4th and 9Th. The moon at this
period will pass first quarter on the
Bird, and cross the celestial equator on
the 9Th. The Mercury period which
was central November 2G reaches
over into December and blends with
Venus influence during this first
storm period
BY the Sd falling barometer and
change to warmer viii be noted in
western extremes. GrowingcIoudiness
will result in the same sections and
during the 4th to the 9th, first rain,
then sleet and snow will visit wide
areas of the country as storm condi-
ti0ns pass from west to east across
the continent. The combined influ-
ence Of Mercury and Venus will, in
all reasonable probability, result in
heavy, widespread sleet storms, and
very low barometer, followed by
violent change to billiards. The cris-
is of this period will fall on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday, the Sd, 4th and
9th, followed by severe, cold wave
which will be be felt in most parts of
the country, lasting until about the
8th.
A regular storm period is central
on the 10th, extending from The 8th
to the 18th. By about Saturday the
9Th, a decided change to warmerswith
rapidly falling barometer, will be
noted in western extremes. These
conditions will bring on increasing
cloudiness, moving eastward and
from about the 10th to the 18th in
elusive, severe and general winter
storms will make their rausiJ over
the country. These storms will reach
their eliminating crisis within forty
eight hours of sunset on the 18th.
Look for rains at the on-coming of
these storms, especially to the south
ward, but be prepared for change to
northwesterly billiards as the storms
move eastward, and for genuine De
cember cold wave to follow with the
rising barometer behind the storms.
a reactionary storm period is CEN
traI on the 18th, 10th and 18th.
Throughout this part of the month
there is constant tendency to unset
tied and stormy weather. But decided
storm conditions, with general rain
and snow, will be most natural, on
and touching Saturday and Sunday,
the 10th and 18th. Correct statistics
will show that one of the stormiest
periods on the Atlantic Ocel n, along
the line of travel and traffic from the
United States to Europe lies from the
9Th to 25th of December.
A regular storm period covers Goth
to the Goth. The central day of the
December solstice falls within this
period, on the 21st. and the regular
Vulcan storm period is central on the
22d. The moon is in perigee on the
23d, at new moon on the 25th, and at
extreme declnation south on the 29th,
1t also crosses the celestial equator,
going tOsouth declination on the 10Th.
All these facts combined indicate
that from about the 10Th to Goth will
bring a period of prolonged winter
storms. The crisis of this period may
be looked for on and touching Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday, the 23d,
Gath and 25th.
a reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the eth, 29th and Goth. The
general cold leading into these days
will partially break up, the high ba-
rometer will relax into lower pres
sure, and renewed squalls of rain,
snow and wind will visit many Sec
lions of the country in their progress
sive sweep from west to east, on and
touching the 27th, 2Sth and 29Uh.
