Koohii stories:

1) [synewave] 7-7-2006(240): Eastern Siberia is often frozen by ice. According to wikipedia, Yakutia (in Eastern Siberia) holds the record as the coldest town on Earth. Check it out yourself…it made it stick for me!

2) [Wizard] 13-6-2008(97): The ice will stay frozen until the sun is visible through the trees.

3) [tuuli] 9-12-2007(18): It is always the east side of anything, mountain, yard, forest, that stays frozen with ice.

4) [crayonmaster] 4-2-2009(7): ICE will stay FROZEN during the night, until the SUN rises over the EAST TREES.

5) [dat5h] 11-7-2009(6): Imagine your freezer ( 冷凍庫 れいとうこ) breaking down in the middle of the winter. The temperatures are just around freezing (it'll have to do). So you decide to bury all of your food in the ice outside to keep it fresh. As the sun rises in the east you must quickly move all of your perishables to the other side because of melting (of course remembering to move it back as the sun moves over the trees to the other side). It's tiresome but it'll have to do until you can fix the freezer.
