    Severe- Weather.
    Twenty years ago we had a great fall of snow it lasted for five weeks. It was six feet in height there were a lot of sheep lost in the snow and the people had to make roads through the snow.
    Three years ago we had a very frosty year and a lot of accidents happened during the frosty weather.
    There was great fall of rain thirty years ago and the bogs moved and some people and houses were drowned. The bogs moved from Kilmore not far from Ballygar.
