| Summary: | shit There are all types of things said about the weather at Seal Cove. The old people have nick-names put on almost everything, and snow is no exception. I have heard my grandfather call it "dung-mixin", "shit", and other words as well, such as "the devil's blanket," "devil's feathers". These words show disapprov- al of it, especially when there is a lot of it on the ground and prevents him from doing his work. All the old people don't want to see too much snow, at Seal Cove, it just poisons them. These words are used more by old people (50 - oldest) more so than by younger people. Heard from grandfather, Bert Langdon, fisherman, aged 67. Not used Not used Withdrawn Checked by Raji Sreeni on Sat 15 Aug 2015
