Winnipeg city staff say one of the harshest winters in a century led to the pile-up. To make matters worse, a cool spring and reluctant summer slowed the annual melt

That there's a Cape Breton refrigerator. My grandad told me about those when I was young. He lived in northern Cape Breton. You make like an igloo thingy in the winter, pile it high wiht snow and cover it with straw. It would always last until July adn soemtimes right through the summer.

My grandfather used to do that. They'd cut out ice blocks at the river and cover it with straw for ice water all summer long.
