ALASKA Thirty-two and Half Inches of Snow Recorded at Juneau Airport Although yesterday was officially the first day of Spring, residents of the Gastineau Channel area were busy today digging out from under the heaviest single March snow- fall ever recorded by the U, 8. Wea- ther Bureau in Juneau. A total 235 inches was recorded in the City and 325 Inches of snow was measured at the Alrport during the storm, The enow, which plled up in drifts ranging from two to five feet high made it difficult for Palm Sunday worshippers to attend Church ser- vices in Juneau yesterday. A score of intended churchgoers were pre- vented from attending. Taxi service was extremely hampered and, in some places, could not be rendered until streets and roads had been sufficiently cleared. Bert Lybeck had his street crews: out early and snow plows were busy day and part of last night. Many autos, which had been park- ed on the street, had to be towed out of the huge drifts which piled up around them. Kids got the most fun out of the heavy snows. They could be seen jumping into huge drifts and wallowing through the snow for a big thrill. Many bullding owners turned out yesterday to shovel snow from the 1lat roofs and marquees of several downtown buildings in order to re- lleve the heavy pressure brought by | the snow.
