This is not good. The energy that is required to heat the volume of one of the world's largest lakes by an extra 3°C is enormous. Excellent comments by colleagues Jay Austin and Maggie Xenopoulos on the anomalous heating of Lake Superior. Coinciding with the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, this will likely also extend the shipping season, adding late season risks.

I’m finally learning first hand about cold weather EV charging. I’ve had my Model 3 since Sept 2018. I live in Austin where it’s usually mild temps and the car is garage kept. I’m on a real road road trip and had to park outside last night at the hotel. It’s 35 degrees so charging from 60% to 90% SoC will take 45 minutes! 😳 That’s certainly putting a dent in travel time.
