This Saturday the Sun conjoins Uranus, a planet traditionally associated with cold air masses. The Weather Alternative made note of this conjunction in its long-range weather forecast for March 5-8, 2008. The forecast noted that in key charts the Sun-Uranus conjunction would affect the Rockies and the Northeast.March 5-8
Aspects between the Sun and Uranus are known to lower temperatures and bring cold, dry air. The Rockies is the focal point now. Storms are likely to be triggered as the colder air mass moves into the region. A similar setup is shown over the Northeast.
Here's the tie in: Today a storm system is forming over the Rockies. It will then intensify over Texas and possibly become a major snowstorm over the Northeast by Saturday.
Here's the snow storm in the Rockies:
