Juneau, Dec. 22. — Suntise, 8:48 a.m.; sunset, 3:09 p.m. wn'rm SYNOPSIS A large area of unusualy high barometric pressure covered the Bering Sea, all Alaska, the riorth Paciflc Ocean, western Canada and | the states from the Pacific ‘Coast to the Rocky Mountains this morn- | ing. One center of this area was lccated at Bethel, Alaska, with the abnormally high reading of 31.22 inches and another center of 30.95 inches was at latitude 51 degrees north and longitude 140 degrees west. The barometer was low over mid-Pacific north of the Hawailan Islands and also over central Canada, This pressure distribution has been | attended by light snow from the Seward Peninsula east over the Alas- kan Interior to the mouth of the Mackenzie River, at Fort Simpson and | from Edmonton northeast to Hudson's Bay, light rain from Cordova south 'to Prince Rupert and fair weather over the rest of the field of ob- | servation. Warmer temperatures were reported from the southwest ), F.
