    of haws, out it is a sin of a hard winter. If there are much berries on the holly it is the sign of a hard winter also. There was a big storm in the year 1839. Some years ago there was a big thunderstorm and the following night something resembling tar fell and any clothes that were out bleaching were destroyed. It freezed for seven weeks and horses and cart loads of manure were brought across the canal. There was a snowstorm, and the snow lasted from February till May.
