A Reactionary storm period is
in progress as February comes
in, with Moon at first quarter and
In apogee on the 1st. On and
touching the 1st and 2nd, the
temperature Will react to warm
er, the barometer will fall, and
cloudiness with more or less ram
and snow will pass over most sec
tlons. moving to the eastward.
These disturbances promise no
marked severity, with moderate
change to colder following.
A Regular storm period is CEN
tral on the 9Th, extending from
the 9TH to the 9th. Within this
period we have Moon at extreme
north declinatlon on the 9th and
full on the 9th. By the 5th the
barometer will BEGIN falling in
western sections, winds change
TO southerly and easterly, and
clouds will gather. AS these con.
dltlons begin to move eastwat d
about the 9th, ram Will set IN to
the east and south of low barom-
etri' centers, and snow win fol.
low along northern and western
sides of storm areas. Hence
rain, succeeded by colder and
changing to snow, will pass east
wardly across the country from
about the 9th to the 10th. The
crisis of this period Will be on
and touching the 9th. Seismic
disturbances will be natural at
this period. High barometer and
very cold northerly winds,
amounting almost or quite to biz
Yards, Will tJllow these storms,
causing very cold, dIsagreeable
weather from StE or 9th up to
about the 18th 1t must be re-
membered that total eclipse of
the Moon falls on the 9th. This
fact enders it doubly more prob
able that storms and seismic dis
turbauces will occur oa or near
that date.
A Reactlonary storm period is
central on the 18th and 18th. On
the same days the Moon is on the
celestial equator and IN perlgee.
At this time look for great change
to warmer, with sudden fall of
the barometer to very low read
lngs. General ahd severe atmos-
pheric disturbances, with thun.
der and rain southwark, and snow
northward, need not surprise onr
readers on and about these dates.
A sudden sharp cold wave will
follow from about the 18th TO
10th, calling for careful planning
for the comfort and safety os ali
who are necessarily exposed and
for unhoused livestock. From
about this period, February tolts
close promises to be not only dis
agreeable, as it usually IS, but
very severe, if not violent IN it's
storm ahd weather phenomena.
The Regular storm period, ex-
tending from the 10th to Goth,
having It's center on the 18th, is
at the teglnning of the Mercury,
Venus and Earth periods, with
Moon at last quarter and south
declinatlon. During it's first
stages heavy rains with light
ming and thunder will visit most !
sectit MS southward aud central;
but sudden and violent change to
sleet and snow, with blizzardous
conditions from the northwest,
will develop in the winding up
stages OF this period. Look for
the crisis OF storm aud change |
about Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, the 18th, 18th and 18th,
followed closely and for several
days succeeded by a general and
severe cold wave.
A Reactionary storm period I
falls on the 22nd to the 25th. This
period promises IN all probability
TO be the most severe Of the
