Hicks Forecast for November.
The disturbances coming over from o.
tober will bring threatening weather the
opening days of November, eliminating
about 3rd or 4th with cold winds and
frosty nights, to be followed by rising
barometer. A regular storm period ex-
tending from 7th to 9th will be in pro-
gress several days, rain turning to sleet
and snow on the western flank of the
storm areas will progress from the east
across the country, promising long
spell of unsettled weather.
One Of the most severe disturbances
of the month will eliminate within 48
hours Of noon on the 18th. The baron
eter will drop to one of it's lowest read
ings for the month, thick cloudiness and
great humidity will prevail, and general
storms of autumnal rain, turning to de-
structive sleet, and later into blizZardous
snow and northwest gales may be ex-
pected, covering the northern and eX-
tending far into central sections. Ii
navigation is still open on the great
lakes, it greatly concerns owners and
masters of vessels on those waters to
watch and heed all storm indications DIT
this time
A regular storm period extends from
the 10Th to the 23rd. Falling barometer,
higher temperature and greatly increas-
ed intensity in storminess will develop
and pass rapidly to the eastward about
Tuesday the Goth to Friday the 23rd.
Cold, high winds out of the northwest
will rush in behind these storms as the
high barometer moves eastward and
southwark splacing the storm areas.
Sharp cold with frost and freezing to-
ward the north, will visit most sections
from about the 22nd to the 25th. Let
every student of these forecasts be also
q constant and careful observer of the
moods and changes of storm and weather.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 25tb, 26th and 9th, with decided
fall Of the barometer cloudiness and re-
turn of rain and snow. The disturbance
of this period will eliminate on the Goth
and 9th, by which dates storms will
have passed we'll to the east, with high
barometer and colder, clearing weather
following in the immediate rear of storm
areas. If you are planning to escape
billiards on the land Or storms on the
lakes, don't start on your journey or
your voyage.
regular storm period begins on the
29th and runs at least four days into
December, being central December End
The full moon falls on the 30th, which
fact will greatly tend to bring on the
disturbal ces of this period on and touch
ing that date.
He says we believe that phenomenal
perturbations of the barometer, exces-
sive magnetic and electrical disturb
ances. with heavy seismic shocks in
many sections OF the globe. will occur on
and close to the 29th and Both Natur-
ally storms and atmospheric trouble are
of kind with all these things and need
not surprise any one on land or sea as
November goes out
