    pitch on the lower branches of a tree, when the sheep come down from the hills and when pigs make a lot of noise a storm is collecting.
    In 1902 a great storm occurred. The wind blew all night and knocked several trees and slates off houses.
    About forty years ago a great snowfall was experienced. The snow was very deep in sheltered spots. Some sheep got lost but their breathing melted the snow and they did not die of cold.
