  1. Severe Weather - Frost and Snow - 1854

    Share Share Post
    There was a terrible frost and snowfall in the year 1854. The river Blackwater was frozen also. One day an English soldier stood by the railings of the Protestant Church, Fermoy, Co. Cork. A baker who was passing by went over to him and found he was frozen to death.
