When our lakes are frozen, they are truly our greatest asset. There's a long history of ice harvesting in this region, so there was just a lot of commercial activity on these lakes, cutting blocks of ice out of the lakes all winter. Frozen lakes were so important to the city that records of when the ice froze each year go back more than 100 years.
