[1886] LLOYD
15 It not unfrequently happens that the heaviest falls of snow—called 'batches' by
the inhabitants—are accompanied by gales of wind. T 43/4-64 In the winter there was
no road at all; every batch was pilin' up and stayin' there until it would melt with the
sun in the spring. T 178/9-65 And that night, sir, come on the gale o' wind to the north
east, and you never saw a bigger batch o' snow in your life. T 391/3-67 Last goin' off
the young fellers put out a lot o' slips; big batch o' snow come, and them slips be
snowed in.
