Oh, absolutely! Far more satisfying than twisting a plastic tray (or just going to the icemaker on the freezer).
We had running water, but when I was in my early teens we still had an outhouse for late-fall/early-winter weekends since the camp had been winterized by that point. Needless to say one kerosene heater wasn't quite enough for...comfort. At those temps, any draft is "invigorating"!
Frightened turtle comes to mind.
