  1. Snowstorm.
    1894.
    The year 1894 was another year of snowstorms. It snowed for a day and night without ceasing. The snow was higher than the tallest trees. To get anywhere for messages it was impossible because of the snow. It freezed then after the snow and that kept it on the ground for six weeks. People got from place to place by walking on the freezed snow.
