looks like they could have installed a few more phone lines if they had tried
-Yeah, our linemen were such wimps, even back in those days!
In November 1890, Stockholm had below -40 C and F, too (Coincidence, you say?).
That record haven't been broken any month ever since in the capital.
Kinda looks like an early version of G. Fiber. Wonder how the birds find the right wire to perch on. In an ice storm, it looks like it could become one solid block.
