A more detailed forecast is available from any one of our astrometeorologists featured in the list that follows. Contact and discuss the options.

The West Coast
A starting point is in the west where abundant rain is in the forecast. Wet weather is typical in the northwest, but in Los Angeles - is that a reach, perhaps, but not unknown to have flooding rains. The models are displaying moisture, not only in the normally dry regions of California but an extraordinary amount. Too much moisture in California can bring on mudslides, and not the kind you drink! The Los Angeles model holds a number of aspects which confirms the forecast.

Over the Rocky Mtns.
Strong winds build and traverse the region both north and south.
Sporadic rain/snow and freezing temperatures in the northern states and in the south, more dry conditions than usual, but plenty of wind activity.

Midwest
North and central states will experience active, fast and turbulent systems. They form and butt fronts to create a tornado ridden season. This is not typical weather for winter. The usual cold and snowy storms will prevail with more see saw temperatures as well.

South central states, Texas, Louisiana and nearby states have a bit more high pressure systems that will, at times, block and divert the flow of storms coming from the west. Storms flowing from the gulf are extreme, more towards the middle of the season.

In general, Florida and the southeast will have the high pressure in place for the beginning of the season producing milder temperatures. There is one indication of abnormal warmth which is of concern; too hot can clash with colder air normal for winter and create destructive thunderstorms. Normal rainfall totals should be the result for the entire season.

According to Webster’s Dictionary, Astrometeorology is defined as the investigation of the relation between the sun, moon, and planets, and the weather. An Astrometeorologist is one who studies and forecasts the weather using Astrometeorology.

The tools of the trade or the models used in this weather report are the charts, maps, and graphs. Take a moment to look at the information and the easy to follow commentary. There is nothing else like it anywhere else.

Recommended - Astrid Fallon creates the most beautiful and informational work on declination. Her Rainbow Ephemeris will please and teach more of the relationship between declination measurement system and classic longitudes. A unique tool to understand the annual planetary phenomena.

The track of weather coming in from the west generally exits through New England. At times, storm tracks veer towards the Mid-Atlantic States and all the way north to Maine and beyond.

Fall Review:
Lovely fall weather for many weeks - accurate. Early color came in but mixed weather weeks made the season not 100% enjoyable due to losing leaves because of the forecasted winds.

Winter - Here in the northeast, there are temperature variations that influence our weather. South of Cape Cod Bay, the waters are warmer due to the presence of the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream. Cape Cod Bay is significantly colder than Narragansett Bay and the surrounding waters. In New England there is route 495 that circles from Rhode Island and around Boston and points north. At the southern part of the circle, there tends to be a border line for the colder air and snowfalls where the same systems can be simply rain in southern New England and further south into New York and at times, the Mid-Atlantic States.

The models for the system here are cast for Rhode Island but the weather descriptions forecast for Connecticut and Massachusetts as well. Larger weather systems will cover New Hampshire and Maine. Many times systems will develop offshore and retrograde back onto shore. Typically these storms are called nor'easters and in the past a true nor'easter would last for 3 days. Now, according to the meteorologists, the storms are mostly one day in length - not a nor'easter of the past.

DISCLAIMER: Weather descriptions in this report are not meant to raise panic, but to only assure you that severe weather is a part of the forecast. It is my intention to alert you to the possibilities and to remind you that some of the storms are localized and preparedness is the key to personal safety. Carolyn Egan

Winter 2011 - Local Winds Summary for New England

Wind velocity is calculated independent of the temperature and moisture models. The information is substantial when combined with the moisture model and it is exclusive; no other system can offer this information.

Local Winds Summary for New England,
The winds are never mentioned in popular Almanacs or in the National Weather Service reports. The Almanacs are hard pressed to even mention a hurricane. A model used in this system for forecasting wind velocity can determine the strength of the wind over the course of a period of time. If a high velocity wind indication combines with a weekly storm forecast, the storm is more intense.
Dec 13 - Jan 8, 2012	Mild or average winds overall. Jan 1st, windy
Jan 8 - Jan 27	Spotty strong winds on various dates; see weeklies
Jan 27 - Feb 13	Mostly calm; strong force on or near the 28th
Feb 13 - Mar 3	Average winds; violent winds Feb 23
Mar 3 - Mar 12	Various windy days; strong violent winds Mar 5th
Mar 12 - Apr 4	Mostly calm. Strong winds on or near Mar 18th

AT-A-GLANCE WEATHER - WEEKLY - 7 to 8 day periods
STORMY	MIXED (precipitation and Sun)	BETTER WEEKS
Dec 17	Dec 24
Jan 1st	Jan 9th	Jan 16th (cold), 23rd
	Jan 23rd, 30th	Feb 7th, 14th, 21st (unsettled)
Feb 29th	Mar 8th, 14th (windy)

FORECAST - WEEKLY SUMMARIES for New England and the Northeast

The following forecasts contain weekly summaries describing the weather for each 7-8 day lunar period. Not all weather events are described. Daily forecasts are available - see below.

Saturday December 17 - 23, 2011 Quarter Moon *Perigee Dec. 22

Some are enjoying the snow and there is more coming. Wintry storm this week.

Saturday December 24 - 30, 2011 New Moon, Solar Eclipse Dec 25

Rain/snow mix for this week with snow in higher elevations. There is more snow here in New England but it is one of those borderline events in RI. Look for a chance of stormy weather coming in for Jan 1st.

Sunday January 1 - 8, 2012 Quarter Moon

Very cold and snowy for New Years, then clearing to sunshine. The fierce and intense fronts over the Midwest have traveled to the east coast and more than likely a coastal storm will develop and retrograde back onto land at the end of the period.

Monday January 9 - 15, 2012 Full Moon

Wet snow, cold, and wind coming in from the south. There are many mitigating influences; some suggest a powerful snowstorm, others suggest a mild and less intense period of snow. The 13-14th looks a likely time, possibly lingering to the 15th. The outlook is for a period of stormy weather, then clearing.

Monday January 16 - 22, 2012 Quarter Moon Perigee Jan 22

High pressure, cold to freezing. Storms developing across the nation but here we are mostly cloudy with a few chances of precipitation. Could be mostly a cold and dry week.

Monday January 23 - 29, 2012 New Moon

Mild, stemming from a southerly flow of weather for New England. Rain, mists, fog are all on this week's menu. The warmer air flow meeting up with the colder air in the northeast will produce snow and incite stormy conditions, adding to what will be a mixed weather week. Strong breezes near the 28th.

Monday January 30 - Feb 6, 2012 Quarter Moon

Winter didn't go very far away. Turning colder with a variety of intense snow squalls and cloudy skies.

Tuesday February 7 - 13, 2012 Full Moon

Light precipitation early in the period from rain in the south to a mix here and snow to the north, but the week is mostly warmer, dry and sunny in southern New England.

Tuesday February 14 - 20, 2012 Quarter Moon Perigee Feb 19

High pressure dominates. Mostly fair for openers. Clouds or fog begin to build along with strong breezes. Light precipitation and/or snow should develop 17th to 20th.

Tuesday February 21 - 28, 2012 New Moon

This is a foggy forecast for southern New England with multi-fronts complicating the weather conditions. Some form of precipitation which could be simply fog that hugs the coast; then rain along the coast. With the strong winds, the temperatures will seem cooler and it appears that the winds will be driving the weather this period and sections of New England will have snow.

Wednesday February 29 - Mar 7, 2012 Quarter Moon.

Wintry conditions continue. Off and on snow and snow showers throughout the week. March 3-5th is particularly stormy days.

Thursday March 8 - 13, 2012 Full Moon

Cold and dry begins the week. Icy conditions are possible with a snow/rain mix. This is a truly mixed weather week; look for sunny and fair days in between the fronts.

Wednesday March 14 - 21, 2012 Quarter Moon Perigee Mar 19

Low pressure develops and hangs around to give another week mixing rain and snow. The strong gravitational forces will increase the intensity level of any storm. Here, the wind velocity is extremely strong for the weekend when St. Patrick's Day celebrations and parades are held. Snow in higher elevations is forecast and a rain/wind storm for points further south.

HINTS FOR SPRING 2012 WEATHER IN NEW ENGLAND

It will be a relief to have early mild spring conditions with high pressure moving in to generate dry and warmer weather for a while. However, the roller coaster for temperatures and plenty of rain will then come into play for the rest of the season.

Astrometeorology, the system used in this report was first practiced about 1,000 years ago by the ancients and improved upon in the days of Kepler and Goad. The 20th century produced more information and technique from George J. McCormack and C. C. Zain. With the advent of computers and the internet, I have improved the methods and can now produce an accurate daily forecast for a location. Through the newly released long range weather course, astrometeorology is being studied on every continent.

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 very 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.

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.
