Hicks Weather Forecasts for Febru-
airy, 1907.

"A reactionary storm period is central,
Sunday, Sd, TO Tuesday, 9th. Prolonged
cloudness and marked storm conditions will
be the order through all the opening days of
February, but these conditions will eliminate
in general storms of rain, seet and snow on
and touching the Sd, 4th and 5th. High tenn
perature, with lightning and thunder, will
mark these disturbances over central to south.
ern parts of the country at first, but sudden
and severe change to blizzardous storms and
sleet and snow will strike, followed between
the 4th and she 7th by severe cold wave for
February. Have your affairs we'll in hand for
these storms and for the cold wave to follow.
"A regular storm period is central on the
9th. Look for a prolonged and greatly inten-
sified storm period between the It'll and the
18th The 10th, 11th and 18th will probably
bring the elimination of what we will call
series of danger days in this period. Low
barometer, with warm, humid conditions. will
be admonitions of violent storms, especially
in sections to the southwark. Torrental rains
will fill the streams and rivers, in all probabil.
ity precipitating ice gorges and dangerous
overtlows and floods during and following this
period. Many sections northward will suffer
from billiards, seet storms and blockades at
this time, and general cold wave will reach
most parts of the country from about the 18th
TO the 18th. The 18th is the central day of
period of five to seven days in which many
earthquake shivers will be reported in ex.
tremes of the globe.
"A reactionary storm period is central on
the 18th and 10Th. On and next to these
dates the elements will react to much warmer.
the barometer will show a wave of marked
depression. and decided storms of rain and
suow will pass in regular order from west TO
east. Within twenty four hours of noon on
the 10Th, look for sudden revulsion from
high temperatures, and possibly electrical
storms, to a sweeping and severe cold wave,
sleet and snow.
"a regular storm period covers the 10Th to
the 23d being central on the 10th. Heavy
equinoctial storms in the southern coast re-
gions, with general storminess and heavy rains
and snow northward, may in season be antici-
pated at this time Watch, of course, for
change TO much colder between the I'D and
26lh. progressively from the north west to the
east and south.
"a reactionary storm period is central on
the last day of February, covering the 25th.
into March. The full moon. near its passage
of the celestial equator, falls on the 28th.
This will greatly increase the probability of
general and furious snow storms not far IRON
February the 28th. Another seismic period
lies within two TO three days before and after
sunrise on the 28th. We close these forecasts
for February by repeating our belief that the
month will be filled with many mingled tropi.
cal and boreal storms, making it, upon the
whole, the most severe and disagreeable month
of the winter
