1. Local Storms

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In the latter period of the eighteenth century there was a big snowstorm. There was a fair in Ballinakill, Leix on the day of the snowstorm. It was a fine morning but began to snow early in the day. A man by the name of Timothy Murphy more commonly known as "Timmy Rosster", having sold a heifer for seven pounds at the fair was going home.
   The snow getting steadily worse he knocked at the door of a house in Knockbawn, but was refused admittance. A little farther on, the snow being level with the top of the ditch, he walked out across the ditch into a field where he was lost in a drift. His body was found after the snow had thawed. The people of the country talked about that snowstorm for years afterwards and it is always referred to as "Timmy's Snow"
