- 16-3-38 Severe Weather
In the spring in nineteen hundred & fifteen there was a great snow fall in Ireland. It was about six feet deep. One could not travel even to neighbours without piling the snow up first & cleaning the roadways. Gangs of men got together & with picks & shovels made paths from one village to another. It was about two months before the last of the snow melted. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
