I guess [member=550]Tinker[/member], it depends upon your locale...if you live in Siberia or Alaska it may be...advantage ice box. [poke]
Well the rellies talk about a tracksaw/wheelbarrow contraption that they used just north of you.
The would wait until it was a particularly bitterly cold night and then go out and plow or sweep any snow off the ice.
At the crack-o-down they would put long criss cross cuts in the ice a foot deep... Then bust out the blocks and stack them in the ice house between sawdust for insulation.
