Back to original thread topic, sort of: No songs, but twenty years ago when I lived in Lake St. Peter Ontario, the general store owners still had an ice-house and harvested it off the lake the old-fashioned way, packed it in the ice-house full of sawdust, and sold it in the summer. Gave them something to do in winter, and they had ice to sell in cottage country, without paying huge freezer bills. (And it was sure as hell cold enough there. One year it went to -60 Fahrenheit, the cold snap around New Years 1981.)

A balmy minus 13 F this morning...
