Some Amish families still make use of ice houses to see them through the hot summer months. In winter, families will cut blocks of ice and store them, coveredwith sawdust, in well-insulated ice houses. They place the ice in the top compartments of their refrigerators; as the ice slowly melts, the cold water streams down the back into a catch basin and the air inside is kept cool.
