- About forty years ago there waur a great fall of snow. It covered many houses.
There was a terrible lot of sheep lost in it. The people had to throw boiling the snow to melt it. They had to get snow water to make the tea. The people could not go out to feed the cattle. When the snow was melted the cattle were nearly dead. My grandfather lost six sheep in the snow. The snow was twelve feet deep in places.- Collector
