Replying to @Alex The first step when harvesting ice is to mark the field using a marker plow. It's important to make sure that the ice blocks are the same size so that they can be stacked tightly. This prevents air from getting between the gaps and helps keep the ice frozen in the ice house until summer. #history #historytime #historybuff #livinghistory #historical
Replying to @Sharty_Mccrappypants folks who harvested ice had lots of specialized tools that helped them carry and split the ice blocks! #history #historytime #historybuff #livinghistory ##historical #iceharvest #frozen
