Before any snowstorm of six inches or more, the first cirrus clouds some either from between west-by-north and northwest, or from between west-by-south and south-west. Cirrus clouds from 10 degree to 19 degrees north of west, or from 11 degrees to 50 degrees south of west are almost a sure sign of a storm in about 24 hours, the scientists reported. These conclusions have been made from records kept over a period of 33 years...
