   Severe Weather.
   There was a big snow storm in the year 1932. The snow was eight feet deep. There was a postman lost in the snow in the west of Ireland. Bread vans and motor cars and lorries were stuck on the roads.
   It lay on the ground for a week before it melted.
   If a person was walking on a hill he would hardly know where he was walking until he would walk into a drift of snow.
