Hicks' Forecasts for December.
A regular storm period is central on
the loth, extending from 8th to the
13th. There is abnormal tendency not
only to general winter storms, on land
or sea, but seismic shivers, strong
"earth currents" and volcanic disturb-
ances, as a rule, are more nutnerous
and violent. By about Saturday the
Oth a decided change to warmer, with
rapidly falling barometer, will be not-
ed in western extremes. These condi-
tions will bring on increasing cloudi-
ness, moving eastward, and from about
the 10th to the 13th inclusive, severe
and general winter storms will make
their transit over the country. These
storms will reach their culminating
crisis within 48 hours of sunset on
the 11th. Look for rains at the on-
coming of these storms, especially to
the southward, but be prepared for
change to northwesterly blizzards as
the storms Move eastward, and for a
genuine December cold wave to follow
with the rising barometer behind the
storms.
