Not just in NY: Also in central GA, the milk froze in the bottles and rose
out the top.

Even after the horse-drawn milk wagons were replaced, Buck Ice Co.
delivered the ice for our ice boxes with mule-drawn red wooden wagons
loaded with 200# blocks from which they ice-picked our 25# orders. Those
ice boxes and kerosene stoves didn't go away until the '50's for us "po
folks". "The good old days." :-)
