  1. About 26 years ago there was a great fall of snow. There was a lot of people lost in the snow.
    A man went to herd his cattle and he lost his way. He was found dead afterwards. There were also lambs and cattle found dead. Some houses were covered with snow. No cars could travel. Nobody could go outside the door.
    The snow lasted about two days.
