SNOW MAY BE LOOKED FOR BE- FORE FEBRUARY 6., ‘Cold, Uahappy Weather Will Be Prevalent During the Second Storm Period. The weather forecasts of Rev. Irl R. Hicks| promise much in- clement weather during the month of February. The first storm period commences today, snow will fall before the 6th, fol- lowed by cold, clearing weather, prevalent in this section and east- ward to the Atlantic coast. The second storm period is central on the 8th and 9th, which will be followed by a rapid change to high barometer and cold, un- happy weather. From the 12th to the 16th a marked atmospheric depression will be prevalent, and along with this blizzards may be looked for throughout northern Minnesota. The fourth storm period, which is central from the 19th to the 21th, will be charac- terized by a drop in the barome- ter and northern sections will be visited by fierce blizzards, follow- ed by ‘cold, clear atmospheric conditions. The fifth storm period is caus- ed by the Earth and Vulcan equi- noxes, with the noon at the last quarter. This will naturally produce weather ‘frritations,” constantly inducing spits and squalls of rain and snow. Such tendencies will be decidedly in- creasing during the last four days of the month. The barome- ter will fall and wide areas of rain and snow will make transits over the entire country. While these storms ave still in progress in eastern sections, the north and west will be visited by high barometer and cold weather. clearing Worthy Grand Matron Here.
