    Severe Weather.
    My father told me that we had very severe weather in 1917. We had a very heavy snow. It fell on the 18th February and it lasted six weeks, and it was six feet deep, the people were every day carting snow off the road to let traffic pass.
    There was a great fall of rain in 1924. A lot of sheep got rotten with the rain in that year, and a lot of people got sick.
