Stuart and Carolyn speak with James Kessler of the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab about lake ice coverage, shoveling snow for ice hockey, and the smoothest way to plug old episodes. Note that mere days after this was recorded, West Lafayette got about 18" of snow, so, as usual, Stuart has no idea what he is talking about.
