No moderation was in sight, according to the official weather forecast and it said that even colder weather might be | expected. Coldest in Two Years It was the coldest weather Ju- neau has experienced in more than | two years. On December 28, 1927, the mercury dropped to 6.3° above | zero. The present snap is the| coldest since that time. It was| said at the local U. 8. Weather Bureau office that it might go down to 3° or 4° above tonight. While the wind registration did | not show as high as the easterly gale of several weeks ago, d'\mage‘ in the business section was con- siderably heavier, indicating that the force of short gusts was great- er. The highest sustained velocity | for a five minute period was 30‘ miles per hour. Some of the short | blasts reached 60 miles. | Unroofs Several Houses | Several times during the day the | air was thick with pleces of tar| paper torn from the tops of build- ings downtown.
