NATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS - WEATHER ACROSS THE NATION

The Winter Outlook For USA 2005

Note abbreviation: Southern California = SoCal
Disclaimer: The following forecasts are general summaries for a particular noted region. Not all weather is reported nor is there 100% accuracy claimed.

National season overview. The winter season fluctuations in temperature are strong around the world. In general, the weather will be exceptionally wet with much flooding and or snow. An uncommon set of indicators reveals important weather events and more impacting mundane events related to disease. Read more about it here:

The northwest winter will have above normal precipitation and more than average number of storms. The same indications were present for the record-breaking hurricane summer season and will probably bring flooding events to the northwest and the northeast. Watch the weekly summaries for more details. Fluctuating temps may average out to mild. Southern California looks to be cooler than average and windy. Watch for gale force winds early in the season.

Over the Rocky Mountains the theme of fluctuating temperatures continues. There will be unusual warm spells, yet an abundance of snow. The very moist systems coming into the northwest will carry on over the Rockies and there is the possibility of record setting snowfalls here, more in the north.

The midsection of the county will embrace the storms rolling in from the Pacific Northwest and head more southerly. The great variations in temperature here will see warm and dry conditions changing over the wet and snowy conditions in both the upper and lower plains.

In the southeast it will be that much warmer than the rest of the nation and they will have less precipitation than other sections.

At the northeast quarter there will be much precipitation in the weather picture. Stormy conditions throughout the season will bring rain and snow. Because of the changing temperatures, it is possible that it will be a warmer winter overall much to the relief of many.

WEEKLY OBSERVATIONS

HOLIDAY PERIOD December 23-29, 2005

*Perigee periods, as noted in the forecasts, occur when the Moon is closest to Earth every month. The weather trend leans toward intensification with the stronger gravitational pull of the Moon on Earth. The tides will be higher and lower, plus there will be an increase in the wind activity. When the Moon is at perigee and it is also a new or full Moon, it is called a 'SuperMoon'.

**SuperMoon is a word coined by Richard Nolle, Astrologer. He defines the SuperMoon as a perigee-syzygy; namely a new or full moon which occurs at or near (within 90% of) perigee. Check his website for the complete list of dates of SuperMoons.

**Two SuperMoons for the winter season January 29 and February 28. There will be a SuperMoon in spring, March 2006.

CREATING THE LONG RANGE FORECAST

The long range forecast is created from many old techniques that were used by the ancients. They were able to forecast weather from the 1500's where we have documentation. We forecast weather using the Moon's position including the distance from earth, planetary configurations and natural cycles. The models used by the ancients are recreated and improved upon each year, producing a weather report unlike any other. In addition, a weather website and a weather list are available to everyone. The many features on the website may interest those who are weather aficionados. Look for free on-line books, and resources.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

We can give credit to meteorologists and the U.S. Weather Service for their fine work with statistics and current weather reports; however, they continue to be weak in the area of long range forecasting and hurricane movement as witnessed during that season.

The report you are reading has been created from methods that were used hundreds of years ago, tools that include the natural cycles of the Moon, Sun and planetary positions. Forecasting weather 3 months, or 3 years into the future is doing something about the weather.

Doing something about the weather is possible if you know the forecast months or a year/s in advance. Many corporations pay dearly for the long range information that is available from the company started by Dr. Irving Krick. Check this website to read the books http://www.weathersage.com/texts/boesen2/ and this website to see where his company has gravitated. http://www.planalytics.com/app/corp/start.jsp

This report is free and contains local long range weather forecasts for the entire 3 month season for New England, plus a section on national weather highlights. Be sure to click on the useful and informative graphics where more information is available.
