Another time on Snow Lake many, many years ago, we were having a New Years day party at a friends lake home and two guys were ice fishing out in from of this house.

It was a brutally cold day so he opened up his front door and invited them in for a beer and too warm up. After a beer or two one of them looked out the window and said "Oh crap" and bolted out the door. His wooden box was in flames. He used snow to put it out but the wasnt much left of the box or his poles. We all had a big laugh over his mishap and he too thought it was kind of funny. h.h.
