- (continued from previous page)The wind blowing from Granard brought rain (s) and if it blew from Bonlahy is was sure to bring heavy & continuous rain (S.W)
If the wind blew from Scrabby it brought frost, cold and hardship as they believed the word Scrabby meant nothing good (N)
If it blew from Mullahoran it was regarded as treacherous, and the old people dreaded this wind (E)
