THE WEATHER — What Wp May Look for During This Month. | The month of February comes !in on the wings of a storm that I carries January off in history. I Severe storms of ruin, snow and sleet mark the first days of the month, hence cloudy, murky, I sleety weather will continue in all probability in to the reactionary period central on the (sth. 7th and Bth. If during the first four days of the month, heavy snow [and sleet do not appear such storm will almost certainly develop about the ‘6th to the 9th. This will prove one of the most general and destructive sleet periods of the winter, and at lost one severe cold wave may be counted, on. The next period begins on the 10 and remains six days. During this time storms of rain, snow and sleet will be general. A rising barometer and cold wave I will follow immediately after the new moon on the 16th and a sudden revulsion to storm condition will reappear about the 18th to 20th. 1 These storms will also be followed by a high barometer and cold wave about the 20th or the 22nd. Trie last regular storm period for February is central on the 21th, its disturbing influence reaching from the 22nd to the 27th. The first stages of this period will bring change to much warmer weather, with storms of rain, changing to snow and sleet. Resolutions.
