- Folklore - StormsIn the year 1895 a snowstorm swept over Ireland and is known as the big snow. A woman from Lemonaghen went out into the field and before she got back the storm swept down and the snow was two feet high very soon. She stood in the shelter as she thought it would soon be over. The storm kept on and after three days she was found and nearly exhausted. The snow as in February and remained in many parts of Ireland until May.I got this from my mother Mrs Kate Egan, Clonboniff, Belmont, Offaly.
