Weathersage: Winter 2007 Weather Forecast

Many have an interest in weather, from the farmer's lore, to the observation of the color of caterpillar's fur and the thickness of a squirrel's tail. Any study of weather performed over many years will produce valid and accurate observations, but astrometeorology, which has been used for hundreds of years, has benefited many who want to know what the weather will be next month or next year. This report describes weather for a complete season with a goodly percentage of accuracy for what is written. Daily weather is available for purchase; details can be found at the end of this report.

The 'tools of the trade' for the weather report information include the graphics that are produced as a resource. Take a moment to look at the information and the easy to follow commentary.

Dec 20 - Jan 7 - Gale force winds. Details in weekly summaries
Jan 8 - Jan 27- Average winds in general
Jan 28 - Feb 18 - Variable winds. Stronger winds early Feb.
Feb 19 - Mar 13 - Variable winds. See Feb. 20 and 26, stronger.
Mar 14 - April - Typical windy conditions good for flying kites!

The extreme weather continues. It is not the best conditions for shopping! The indications for part of this week are for cold temps with precipitation. A storm to the west of us brings in a severe cold front with snow for much of New England. Southern New England may scrape by with just the edge of the storm and a rain/snow mix also variable temperatures. The wind is strong for this turbulent period.

The weather is unsettled this week. The temperatures will vary from seasonal to warmer than normal, then a chance of colder air 30th as a storm approaches. The week overall should be rainy from the 23rd to 27th; snow or mix north of RI. Further south in the Atlantic, tropical moisture could whip up into a storm this week or next.

In New England, the long range models find excessive wind, rain and low pressure along the east coast from the mid-Atlantic up through New England. Fog banks may be a big problem. At the least, a strong squall line will form. The Moon is traveling fast this period, carrying the warmer air tides to the northern hemisphere. Mixed elements induce clouds, showers but with a warm and still unsettled finish.

A more seasonable week ahead. A threat of winter snow showers mid-period but otherwise, sunny, breezy and cold continues until milder air comes in around the 13-14th.

Low pressure is in our neighborhood. Snow falls over New England 19-20th and the system lingers. Temperatures vary from cold to moderate as the system passes through.

There is potential for stormy weather. A cold front to the west of us combines with wind however, when it reaches southern New England, we will be on the warmer side of the front. Precipitation in many forms north to south from sleet to snow to rain near or on the 24th.

Clouds, possible shower around the 30th then a good part of the period will be sunny, dry, fair. Turning cold with more precipitation, rain/snow Feb. 5-6th

High pressure brings in very cold air. The models are declaring a mostly dry week. Chance of precipitation only near the 11th.

Clear and cold winter days to begin, then morphs into a warming trend which brings on the rain. Wind becomes a factor 19-21st.

Typical winter fare - cold, dry and windy. Precipitation expected on the 24th and again as the quarter Moon period begins.

For March, see-saw temperatures will prevail as a background for all other weather. High pressure will give many fine, fair days, some very cold, others - warmer. Fog prevails on warmer days which is a normal occurrence when the seasons are about to change. Very small chance of precipitation.

Misty and foggy conditions for a day or two. Cold air comes in and precipitation near the 9th has us watching the usual rain snow line in New England.

Cold air and wet indications usually produces snow and we have indications of both for this week! St. Patrick's Day March 17th is notorious for being a bad weather day in the northeast and especially for Boston's parade this year on the 16th.

The models indicate a low pressure system is in the mid-Atlantic region and floundering fronts come together to produce strong wind, but the amount of precipitation depends how much moisture is in the air - this is mainly a cold and dry week but rain/snow for the 16th and17th may be true for the parade in Boston!

TERMINOLOGY

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

A syzygy is a situation where three celestial bodies are positioned along a straight line. The term is also applied to each instance of New Moon or Full Moon when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition, even though they are not precisely on one line with the Earth.

**SuperMoon is a term 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 SuperMoon dates..

The long range weather forecast is created using many old techniques. The ancients were able to forecast weather dating back to texts from the 1500s. Today, Astrometeorologists forecast weather using the Moon's position in relation to the distance from earth, planetary configurations and natural lunar cycles. The models used by the ancients are recreated and improved upon each year, producing weather reports 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 enjoy weather information. Look for the free on-line books, and other resources.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Can anyone do something about the weather? Yes! Forewarned is forearmed. In this free report, weather is summarized for each of the 13 weeks of the entire season. The national highlights report scans the potential weather systems that will affect the season and the local New England report has more detail.

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.
