“I remember saving hailstones in the freezer...just because.”
We used to do the same thing with hail and pond ice only then it was called an ice box.

You and my Grandma.
“”We used to do the same thing with hail and pond ice only then it was called an ice box.””
Guess we’re all a bunch of old duffers here today. I remember my father and hired men cutting the ice on the ice pond, hauling blocks of ice to the barn with the work horses and storing it and covering it with sawdust. I understood it was used for the milk vats to keep the milk cool in the warm weather.
I followed my brother one time onto the ice pond when he went skating - didn’t follow tracks in the snow but went my own way and fell through the ice. He managed to pull me out, got me on a sled and raced me up to the house - don’t even know how he got his skates off so fast. I was probably 7-8 - wonder if I ever thanked him - LOL! Probably scared him to pieces!
