Hicks Weather Forecasts for Febru-
! ary.-We publish below from Word and Works
the Hicks weather forecasts for next month:
"a regular storm period covers the first five
days in February, which is central on the Sd.
By the 1st and I'd the barometer will be falling
and the temperature will be rising in western
sections ofthe country By the Sd cloudiness
and storm areas will be organized, and during
the Sd to 9th rain, wind and snow will prevail
generally, passing progressively from western
to eastern extremes OF the country. Inc
storms of this period will reach their culmina-
ting severity and extent in connection with full
| moon on and touching the 5th. By the 9Th
| storms will have turned to driving snow in the
north and west followed closely by rising ba-
rometer, high northwest winds and change to
much colder. Cold fair weather will advance
| eastward and southwark in the immediate rear
of these progressive storms, reaching in vary
ing degrees of frigidity most parts of the coun-
| try by the 9th to 9th.
"a reactionary storm period is central on the
| 9Th 9th and 10th. At this time look for marked
reaction to warmer, beginning in the West.
| Falling barometer will follow, bringing cloudi-
| ness and rain, with possibly electrical storms
southwark on and touching the 9th. AS these
storms move eastward, the west sides OF storm
| areas will turn to snow and be followed imme-
diately by rising barometer and much colder,
fair weather.
"a regular storm period extends from the
18th to the 18Th being central on the 10th.
This period lies within the influence OF earth's
! yernal equinox. Hence equatorial disturbances
are possible and probable in southern extremes
at this and following storm periods in Febru-
ary. Wewil name the 18th, 18th and 18th as
the central days of storm developments. On
and touching these dates low barometer and
storms of rain turning to snow, will touch
most sections in their eastward passage across
the country.
"a reactionary storm period is central on the
Goth, Dist and 22d. Marked barometric depres-
sion will appear at the beginning, or as early as
the 18th, attended by growing warmth, ana
during Saturday, 10Th, to Tuesday, Z3d, general
and decided storms of rain, wind and thunder
will visit regions to the southwark, turning to
heavy and destructive sleet storms over central
to northern sections. Billiards are entirely
possible at the elimination of this period.
"a regular storm period falls on the last four
DAYS of the month being central on the 18th.
The barometer will fall decidedly on entering
this period and renewed storms OF rain, seet
and snow will visit, in some form or other, al
most the entire country on and toucnlng the
26th 9th and 18th. This is time when the
sleet god will have picnic with the wires. we
must not forget that the vernal equinox is IN
| strong force by this time, and this fact VII
guarantee heavy and general storms, winoine
up with probable billiards as the month goe'
out. Whatever forms storms may take on, j
may be put down as q reasonable certainty tina
disagreeable and dangerous conditions will pre-
vail as we pass from February to March,"
