after watching several episodes of Mike Holmes show, I have to ask
wtf is a cold cellar? It just seems odd. Is that where you hide the bodies?

As an Alaskan, I feel qualified to answer this.
Basically, an underground fridge/freezer. We used to have one that stored various meats/fish.
In very cold climates, if you can dig a pit under/near the permafrost layer...poof, free refridgeration.

An uninsulated portion of the basement. Handy for storing things that don't require refrigeration but need it cool. (Think potatoes and beer.)

Yeah, it's a good place for potatoes. My parents don't drink alcohol, so we didn't store beer there. However, that would be a fabulous spot.

According to Marengo cave if I dig far enough under my house it will be a constant 52.1 degrees.
Not sure how far down you have to go for that though.

when i was a kid, my dad used to take me to "bomb shelter shows" at the LA convention center in southern cal.
this was the late 50's early 60's
was like the sports and boat show only just bomb shelters and survival, generators and stuff.
several people in our neighborhood got them and after a few years many of them just turned into play houses.
after the cuban missle crisis became not a crisis any more...

I keep my soda on the porch about 9 months of the year. I'd keep my beer out there too, except I don't need to encourage people to steal it.

in ancient china the emperors palaces would have them to store ice and snow, they were dug very low and insulated. ice and snow would be use later on for making desert foods.

We did that when I was in New York for the winter. Sadly, it was cold enough that some of them froze and popped :/

Hey Norm, you hear about the studies being done at Johns Hopkins about the Y chromosome of persistent bar troublemakers?
Yeah, they found a striking similarity between that and chronic droolers and idiots.
