Matt T McK ,

Big Snow of ‘47

Just listened to a fantastic episode about Crosserlough and the Big Snow of ‘47.
My father’s family are/were from Latnadrona townland. I remember walking across the fields from my uncles farmhouse to Gaffneys Shop when I stayed there in the summers of ‘75 & ‘76 - to buy sweets.
Well done to Savina Donohoe.
