   the snow was about six feet deep.
   The snow was on the ground for about four weeks. Some of the mountain people were snowed up and could not get out for food. Many calves and sheep were covered with the snow. The mountain people had to walk along the walls and hedges to get to the shops for food. Many farmers went out to dig for their sheep and cattle and got snowed up. Many Electric wires were broken by the weight of the snow and many men were killed by shocks from the wires.
