Astrometeorological Fall/Winter 2006 Weather Outlook
A Very Stormy Winter 2007 Arrives Early This Year
By Theodore White/Pro Astrometeorologist

Astromet Weather Outlook Produced: May 2006
**Updated: December 2006

THEO WEATHER ALERTS - **East Coast Residents should prepare for a major snowstorm & blizzard - January 28 to February 2, 2007 - that could shut down several cities along the Atlantic Corridor with extra-significant heavy snows. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia into the Appalachian mountains, including Washington DC, and the state of Maryland are highlighted. The city of Boston in the Northeast may get a taste of this snowstorm as well. Transits are particularly strong at that time and I am forecasting this event to arrive at the end of January, and into the first two (2) days of February 2007. Residents along the East Coast should prepare by stocking extra supplies for this massive snowstorm event. See more about this storm in the Mid-Atlantic & Atlantic Corridor section at end of my Astromet Winter/Spring 2007 Forecast.**

** Midwestern & Heartland residents > should be prepared for ice storms this winter season, along with sometimes much colder than normal temperatures, and excessive moisture from the south mixing with colder, arctic air masses resulting in ice storms this winter. Because of the direct connection between health & weather; residents throughout the country should guard against the see-saw radical temperature drops from above normal to below normal temperatures and back to above normal temperatures by dressing for winter consistently though the weather may be warmer than normal. Jet stream action this winter is a little quirky, according to transits, so while sub-tropical air flow enters in the central U.S., bringing with it warmer temperatures. Also mind this same scenario from the north, with polar fronts with arctic air behind it, mixing with tropical moisture from the south. Be safe out there.**

** Wind Storms > Transits indicate to me that this is the winter of powerful winds. Gusty winds nationwide in late autumn, and most of winter is a serious concern of mine for the entire country. Expect sometimes very gusty, sustained windy conditions in December, January & February ~ especially in the Midwest, Heartland, the Northeast & Atlantic corridor, Pacific Northwest, Inter-Mountain West, Upper & Central Plains, and Colorado Rockies. Indeed, for most of the country this winter. Even California & the Southwest will not be immune to the very windy conditions. It is advised for nearly all Americans to prepare for & guard against sometimes powerful, gusty winds. Take in outdoor objects that can serve as flying debris, and prepare in advance for potential power outages due to the windstorms of autumn & winter.**

American & Canadian Farmers urged to plan for
a early harvest this year because of early winter
climate conditions arriving by late October 2006.
(**Farmers - see info below on Spring 2007 conditions.)

Prepare for a colder than normal, and fast
autumn, and a early, and stormier, colder, winter season
just ahead. Winter 2007 ~ in my astromet forecast ~
officially begins early November 2006.

General Climate Conditions This Fall & Early Winter ~
A Colder, moist atmosphere w/very stormy, wet weather
Sudden Frosts & Freeze Warnings
Early & Surprise Snowfalls (as early as September/October)
Below Average Cool Temperatures
Torrential rains
Flash Flooding Events (entire fall & winter season)
Gusty & Damaging Winds
Low cloud ceilings
Widespread & Dense Fogs
Slippery Conditions on Roads - Drivers add & check fog-lights

The Winter Season ~

Significant Snowfalls
Widespread Icy Conditions
Dense Fogs
Blizzards & Gusty Winds
Below Average Colder Temperatures
Wind-Chills

The months of September & October 2006 see strong
lunar transits, as the Moon's force raises worldwide
ocean tides higher than usual. Expect stormy conditions
that include flooding from tropical events like
hurricanes, and torrential rains to cause serious
problems throughout the world. Preparing for heavy
rains, and flooding in those months is wise, as well
for the coming colder than normal fall season, and
early winter conditions.

Look for below average temperatures - chilly air -
especially early mornings, and during the days, in the
months of August, and September. Frost will not
be uncommon during August/September with freeze
warnings.

Unseasonably cool temperatures in New England, Northeast, Upper
Midwest, Mid-Atlantic & Southeastern states. The Northern
Plains, and Inter-Mountain states could see earlier snows
arriving by September, early October with freeze warnings
and cooler than normal temperatures. Even
areas of the Pacific Northwest and Northern
California will see cooler than average temperatures
increasing in August/September as signs of a early winter
season will increasingly appear in the west as well.

The coming Fall Season is going to be colder
than normal, with October's air cooler, and
most people by that time noticing that early
fall seems to have been in August/September,
and that by October, it feels more like late
fall. Morning temperatures by that time will
be below freezing in regions like the New England,
the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest. Even regions
in the Southwest, such as Arizona, will note the
early fall conditions.

Despite the blistering heat that will cover most
of North America, my astrometeorological
outlook calls for a fall season that develops
earlier than normal, and the coming of a cold,
snowy, wet, and windy winter season ahead.

The coming autumn & winter seasons reveal that
summer 2006 will be quicker than usual, though
with above normal temperatures, and below normal
temperatures affecting most of the United States.
Summer has arrived earlier than usual and will
end early as well.

According to my calculations, the change will
be quite noticable by late September/early
October, and very clear by the end of October,
close to the weekend of return to standard
daylight time - that winter has come.

In November, guard against a return of flooding events in
the Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic,
and states near the Mason-Dixon line, including
Maryland, Washington DC, and northern VA. Torrential
November rains, thick fogs, and colder than
normal temperatures make for dangerous driving
and travel conditions in the Pacific Northwest
and California.

Winter 2007 will arrive earlier than normal
in most parts of the country, including New
England, the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Upper
Midwest, and Pacific Northwest ~
all having stormy winter conditions, and
below average cold temperatures, gusting
winds, stormier precipiations of cold
rains, snow, and ice ~ earlier than usual.

Winter arrives by November 2006, and is at
an end by late February/early March 2007.

**Farmers and produce workers should plan to harvest
earlier than normal this year. Due to a sluggish
spring, and flooding, many crops were lost during
the Upper Midwestern, and Northeastern floods of late.
Farmers should attempt to gather whatever harvests
they can and to ramp up harvest collection in August
and September to avoid major problems in October.

Transits through Summer 2006 are fast though.
Above normal temperatures in the Plains, Midwest,
SW, and South, with alternating above normal
and then below normal temperatures
in the Pacific Northwest.

Many of the weather changes
will take place that month due to planetary
transits. Venus picks up speed and turns to
"Evening Star" phase at the end of October
(Oct. 30-31) indicating an early winter
season on tap with significant snows
and precipitation this coming winter.

The last 10 days of October will verify
this forecast. Transits at that time
clearly show chiller, and wetter conditions,
that will precede the onset of "winter-like"
conditions ahead in November.

Very hot nationally in early June/July
and August, the traditional summer months.
A hot, humid and steamy end comes in
September with October, a variable and cool month.

The month November 2006 is colder, and wetter
than normal with snows, heavy rains, gusty winds,
and colder temperatures into late November.

Expect thick, dense fogs, lower cloud cover, and
surprise weather events feeling more like
winter, than autumn. November is a very
wet month, cold moist, with heavy rains,
very gusty winds, and early snows
in geographic regions used to seeing snows
by early December rather than in early/mid November.

December continues November's theme, but is
more active & colder than normal, and winter
conditions will have taken place prior to the
Winter Solstice of 22 December when the
Sun enters tropical Capricorn. We may experience
a brief "warming" cycle in the middle of December,
due to a strong upper Pacific jet with powerful
low level, and blasting winds, but winter resumes
its stormy blasts into January 2007, a very cold
month - feeling more like deep February.

Other than the cold temperatures, it may be
the gusty winds that are the story in the
months of December, and January. The Midwest
and Western states are highlighted. Transits
show unusually strong winds throughout
the country with an active jet stream. This
includes the Pacific Northwest. We will
see more blizzrds this winter along with
the powerful winds. Prepare for
extensive wind damage this winter in North America.

Winter basically gets to North America
much earlier than last year, about six
weeks, and completes itself rather quickly
by mid-February/early March 2007.

It appears by my astromet
finding that a chillier than normal fall season
and a early winter is just around the
corner. Winter conditions come earlier than normal
into early 2007, but Spring 2007 will arrive earlier
than normal with the northern declination
of Venus by 23 February 2007.

In my estimation - winter, this year, takes place
from November 2006 to end of February 2007, with
improving spring-like conditions by early March 2007.

**FARMERS > who are planning on next year's crops should know
that Spring 2007 transits will be favorable in early March,
giving food producers an early planting season, and
recover from the losses of last year due to
the unusual weather conditions. March 3, 2007, is an
excellent time to begin planting of seeds, with
the resulting yields seeing excellent growth by April 2007
with maturity arriving by May.

The year of weather in 2007 may give farmers
the rare opportunity to harvest rapid crops
several times. However, 2007 shows a rise in insect
and animal activity due to the rough, stormy winter.
Precautions should be taken in the expectation of
insect swarms on food stocks in 2007. The cycle of
the next Venus retrograde (July 27, 2007 to Sept. 8, 2007)
indicates adjustments and protection of crops, with
earlier harvesting before July 27, then continued
harvesting after Sept. 8th. Expect hibernating animals
to wake up very hungry after burning their body fat
during the previous winter months.**

The Strange Summer of 2007 ~
The Summer of 2007 is lengthy, with
a Indian Summer due to the retograde
of Venus (27 July 2007 to 8 September 2007)
in Leo, with summer conditions lasting into
November 2007 combined with the transit
of Mars in tropical Cancer.

A very long Summer 2007 is ahead next year,
which will be the first El Nino year with
the Sun already having reached its peak
minimum cycle. Warmer temperatures, and
tropical like precipitation will be the
main theme of all of 2007 - a warm year,
with above normal precipiation, flooding,
and drought conditions existing in regions
known to suffer them during El Nino years.

This Astromet Outlook continues to
maintain that an earlier than usual
and stormy winter season will prevail in the
northern hemisphere, with wetter
conditions, gusty winds, and
heavy precipiation arriving earlier
than normal.

Expect the next two fall seasons to
be earlier than normal (this year, 2006)
and later than normal (next year, 2007).

This leads to some odd climate events
with a shifting taking place in July 2007
that extends tropical-like,
and wetter summer conditions into autumn
altering autumn 2007 considerably ~

The change this year arrives by late October 2006:

Late October 2006 feels like November
November is like mid-December
December like early January 2007
January is like mid-February 2007
Mid-February is like March 2007

Mid-late March 2007 is like early May
April like early June 2007
May 2007 is like late June
June 2007 is like mid-July

July is like late August
August is like early July 2007
September 2007 is like mid-August
October is like early September
November is like early October
December 2007 is like mid-October/early November

This shows that there is a strong potential
for El Nino conditions to appear in 2007. Before
this, expect winter 2007 to arrive in November 2006
and really be stormy, and cold due to Solar, Lunar,
and planetary conditions. Signs in nature prior to
October will confirm the coming of the North American
winter season.

Plan ahead for an early winter this summer by
using this long-range astromet outlook to prepare
and purchase supplies at budget prices - not for
summer - but a stormy winter season that is
earlier than usual.

Many people will be caught off-guard by the
unusual arrival of winter conditions earlier
than normal this year. Those reading this
astromet outlook should use the months of
August and September to begin purchases of
winter supplies for the winter conditions
between November 2006 to February 2007's end.
