HICKS PREDICTS MUD NOVEMBER

There Will Be Electrical Storms and Sne'w Will Fall About Thanksgiving Time. In his forecast for November Rev. Ira Hicks says: As we enter November a low barometer, with change to warmer, cloudiness and rain will be in transit from west to east across the country. A sharp cold wave will follow in the immediate rear of these storms, spreading eastward over almost the entire country, ‘causing frosts far into the south, from about the 2d to the sth. A regular storm period is central on the 7th, covering the sth to the 10th. This storm will be at the crisis in the central valleys, on and touching the Sth and 9th. On and touching the 13th rain, wind and thunder storms will be most natur-' al, followed immediately by rising barometer, winds shifting suddenly to the west and north and change to very much colder. A regular storm period covers the 17th to the 22nd, having its center on the 19th, Clearing skies and much colder weather will spread over the .country behind these storms, lasting up to the 23rd to 24th. A reactionary storm period is central on the 24th, 25th and 26th. The storms of this period will! culminate on and about the 26th. All the phases of a storm period will' show at this time—falling barometer, w'armer; cloudiness, rain and snow; rising barometer, clearing and colder. A regular storm period begins on the 28th, is central on the 30th, and runs three days in December. In all reason it would seem that the outlook is for a normal or mild November; and if so, the same kind of weather may be looked for through December.
