Answer #6

hmm, in some places where there was a lot of cold weather & snow, they would bury things in the backyard like meats & dairy or under ground because it is always colder underground! (my mother told me stories about that when she was a girl living in the Ukraine…(aka Russia or USSR in 1948) so they would dig a hole in the ground cover the stuff well & place it under the ground while it was covered with snow…kept fresh & they were able to survive the bitter cold!
