    Severe Weather.
    W generally have severe weather in Winter. We had a great fall of snow in the year 1917. It was about six feet deep and it lasted about five or six weeks. The people were in great hardship during the time of the snow.
    There was a great fall of rain in the year 1924. A lot of people lost their sheep. The rain was very heavy and the land was very wet. The sheep rotted from all the rain a lot of people got sick.
