In a long-range weather forecast posted last December 13th, I gave my
take on the noteworthy weather that I thought would affect the East and West
Coasts between the 19th and 25th of January. Let’s see
what happened.
My forecast
relied heavily on the October 23rd 2014 solar eclipse which was now
being activated and previously had produced, according to astro-meteorology, a
Nor’easter over the U.S. Northeast and New England. One scenario I suggested
was a low pressure area over the Carolinas that would then strengthen and move northward to the Northeast and New England with potential to develop into a Nor’easter. On the 23rd and 24th as can be seen in the Accuweather map below, a low developed and passed over the Carolinas becoming a major winter storm that affected the Northeast and New England. Accuweather’s headline was, “Major
Snowstorm May Hit I-95 Corridor From DC to NYC, Boston.”
Now, what’s
coming on the heels of that is another major blizzard that starts to affect the
Northeast and New England just a day after my forecast period ended on the 25th.
That is to say that on the 26th, a blizzard will, in the words of
Accuweather, shut down Boston and the New York City area. The next Accuweather map
shows the extent of the storm.
West Coast
Due to
certain planetary aspects I envisioned a storm system over the area, especially
Southern California. Now, I thought that this storm system entailed moisture,
which is desperately needed there, however, there was no precipitation. Because of Mercury’s retrograde station,
which is a wind-breeding influence, my forecast also called for windy conditions as far south as Southern California. The windy conditions over Southern
California were what did materialize.
