around here in Il they used to cut the ice out of the river and store it in underground areas to keep it frozen for the summer months.

I remember that from Little House on the Prairie. I am in N. AL and there was a picture in our paper many years ago which showed a car on ice in the middle of the Tennessee River. Guess it got much colder back then. I think it was from the 30's or 40's.
