   The men would get a long pole and run it down through the drifts for 14 to 20 feet deep and the dogs would smell down and if there was a sheep in the drift the dogs would scratch the snow to give warning to their masters.

   Some of the old people knew that the way the snow started that there was going to be a storm.

   First if fell soft, then it came like hail stones and it came in a sweeping from Lacken so a lot of the pepple were prepared for it.

   This storm lasted from February to June on the hollows of the high mountains and for six weeks on low land.

   It was from twenty to twenty-five feet deep.

   A few cars of bread and such provisions were held up and could not travel through the drifts.

   The storm in 1933 lasted for a week or so and the roads had to be cleared.

   The vans made an attempt to bring provisions to Valleymount but they could not travel further than Humpherytown Bridge so some of the men got sacks and carried the provisions to the two shops in Valleymount.
