Hicks Weather Forecasts for January,
10O8.-We publish below from Word and
Works the Hicks weather forecasts for the
present month:
the LIST, I'd and Sd. There are several terrestrial
and atmospheric perturbations at and about
this first storm period in 1908. Within seven
ty hours of sunset on the Sd general and
heavy winter storms, amounting to billiards
and blockades in many sections, with severe
seismic disturbances in many parts of the
earth, may reasonably be counted on. Heavy
boreal storms and gales will prevail over both
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans during this and
following January periods. No reader of these
forecasts should be surprised If one or the
greatest cold waves of the winter appears from
about the Sd to the 7th, progressively out of
the northwest.
"a regular storm period is central on the 9Th.
By the seventh rising temperature, falling ba-
rometer and renewed storms of rain, sleet and
snow will appear in western sections. By the
9th the front of these storm areas will reach
central parts of Mississippi Valley, with posi-,
BILE winter lightning and thunder southwark
on and touching that day. Meantime phe,,
nomenally high barometer and rushing cold
wave will be advancing from the north west.
By the 18th the storms, amounting to billiards.
over wide areas will have passed to the Attain
tic seaboard, leaving the high barometer and
severe cold to dominate the country generally,
progressively from about the 10th to the 18th.
"a reactionary storm period will make itself
felt on the 18th, 18th and 10Th. The results,
in progressive way from west to east, will be
change to warmer falling barometer, growing
cloudiness and rain turning into snow. Ten
dency to stormy, threatening weather will pre-
vail continuously through more than half of
January; but the decided, emphatic storm
areas will all appear periodically. Behind the
storms central on and touching the 18th to
10Th, naturally we are to expect wave of high
barometric pressure, westerly gales and much
colder. This condition will past eastward and
touch most parts of tho country in progressive
order before the next storm period.
"a regular storm period falls from the 18th
to the 22d, having its center on the 10th.
Change to warmer with falling barometer and
rapidly forming storm areas will appear in
western parts on and touching the 18th, thus
giving from about the 10th to the 22d for these
storm areas to pass eastward to the Atlantic
seaboard. But while the first stage of the Pc
Rod, that is, low barometer, warmer weather
and rain and snow, is pushing from central to
eastern extremes, blizzardous high barometer
and cold wave will have appeared rushing
down from northwest; and before the modify
ing influence of the next storm period sets in,
this cold wave will sweep southwark and east
ward until almost the entire country will feel
the icy breath of the northbast.
"a reactionary storm period falls on the oath
to 9th Rain and snow and sleet followed by
colder may be expected. The month ends in
a regular storm period"
