it began to snow again. -the see-
and big fall, in tyro weeks. Na -
levelly. the question was raised;
Why is the Bast suffering so
'Much more this year than last?
According to the Weather Bee
Beau's chief long-range fore-
caster, Jerome Namias, it's all a
natter of "planetary waves," the
huge currents of air, like the
trade winds, which circulate
through the atmosphere. For
reasons still obscure to meteor-
ologists, the wave pattern this
year is sharply differez}t,h •
"This winter liar -hien cha a'e-
terised by very large meanders
in the planetary waves, with
strong ridges and troughs," Na -
lilies said. "The waves are e..
bringing Arctic and Asian air
masses very rapidly down across
Canada, the Great Lakes and
into the Gulf where they strike
the warm, moist air of the South,
often .from the tropics. This
powerful contrast sets up a cy-
clone action which lifts the moist
air and carries it off to the
Northeast, where it releases the
snow.
'This windcondition did not
exist last winter. Instead of
i
pronounced ridges and troughs,
the waves were flattened"'arid.
-we
had the
familiar westerly
l
Y
"-"pattern
with little -contrasts be-
tween warm and cold to intens-
ify storms,"
Taking a wider look at the
world's weather, J, Murray Mit-
chell Jr., a Weather r Bureau
climatologist, reported that win-
ters have been getting colder
since 1950, This reverses the
warming trend in effect since
1880s, and particularly strong in,
the '20s and '30s. The finding
raises' ;neve ieuestigns about the
forces which control climate.

Ideas that have been widely ac -

theory that carton •.dioxidefrom
