Got a kick out of the scene where the Dr and his family Arrived in the frozen Sumner home.
In a similar situation,
My buddies and I went out to a camp after midnight fueled on cheap bootlegger wine.
There were two double beds to hold six of us and the frost was about an inch thick on the bedspread.
I worked until 5 to unthaw the small oil stove.
Didn't sleep much that night due to a lot of gunplay inside the cabin initiated by me.
No campers were hurt in the mayhem...the cabin wasn't so airtight after that.

What does 'unthaw' mean?

I've heard the word 'dethaw' and wondered about it also.
