  1. Severe Weather

    Share Share Post
    About forty five years ago there was a very big fall of snow.
    It was in January 1893. It was about fourteen feet in height and the people could not go for water to the wells. They were afraid they would get smothered.
    They had to boil the snow. There were about a hundred sheep killed. Very few people had their cattle in. There was lightning and thunder with it.
