that's always the best when spending a weekend skiing/at the cottage.. no need for loading the fridge.. just toss the beer in the snow for 5 minutes and POOF, it's freezing cold!
I do that in the winter here...I live on sub-basement floor, window with no screen..whenever I get beer, I just throw it in the snow to cool...works sooo good. Also good for keeping a beer cold while you shovel, or BBQ..yes, I BBQ in REALLY cold weather
