Holmes, R. 1961 Journal 4 June Barrow, Alaska The weather today was varied. In the morning, there was nearly a white-out with a heavy fog. The clearest, but the sky remained overcast. A wind picked up & it stayed cool for the rest of the day with some sleet in the evening. 5 June Barrow, Alaska Morning spent working in the lab to checking equipment out of the storeroom. In the afternoon I went to Woblocka Slough & Elson Lagoon. Bird life was generally good, with Sandlarks being present in good numbers (~11). In the evening, I went to Votit Britta Areas & collected Peps. The weather today has been cold with a 15-25 mph wind blowing from the east. The wind actually seemed to be depressed slightly. The snow is going fast. Marylou visited 2-3 days ago, have now delayed so that broad expanse of ridge type are stopped. Woblocka Slough appears to be too soft for travel & so I could not get a totoykik slough. Elson Lagoon look mushy & a snow is starting to form. May the winds pass an alarm meltup. Miller & Chamberlain arrived today.
