    Severe Weather
    The weather of recent years is very mild in comparison with that of twenty or twenty five years ago. At that time there was very severe frost from November to March and sometimes even in April. My father says the snow would be about three feet deep and all the ponds would be frozen so hard schoolboys would be able to slide on them for two or three weeks without a break.
    One of the worst storms ever experienced in this district was the windstorm of 1902. It came on quite suddenly. It lifted slates of the houses wrecked sheds and blew down gates destroyed a wood called "the little wood".
