Brooks Predicts Cold Winter Here

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

New England should expect an unusually cold winter. Professor Charles F. Brooks '12, Director of the Blue Hill Observatory announced last night. Brooks bases his prediction on a formula revealed by Dr. Franz Baur, head of long range weather forecasting in Germany.

Brooks said that under the Baur formula it is almost certain that New England will have a cold winter when the west to east air circulation over the North Atlantic is weaker than usual.

The circulation is determined by the difference in pressure along two north-south lines.

Along both these lines the differences in pressures during November were abnormally weak. Baur found that this condition has been true in just these 11 winters since 1876 when Boston temperatures have averaged at least one degree below normal.

Today's weather: Fair and cold.
