December Weather Forecast From Prof Hicks Prophesies Storms and Warm Spells
Predictions detail a storm period from the 5th to the 9th with rain and snow across many areas, followed by warmer, cloudier conditions and further storms. A major crisis is tied to the moon crossing the equator on the 9th, with a northward blizzard and much colder weather afterward. A warm rebound is expected around the 12th and 13th, then renewed winter storms around the 16th to 20th, and again near the 23rd and 24th as the moon moves through key celestial positions. The forecast cautions readers to anticipate active winter storms as the moon travels southward over the celestial equator.
