Here's my latest #WeatherWisdom for Christmas week and we have some snow on the way.

Because of their ectothermic nature, herptiles like American alligators and crocodiles, tortoises, iguanas and more experience a lower metabolism and an overall decrease in activity. That's why every year, our Herps and Aquatics team make a few key changes to adapt to our reptile and amphibian residents' bodies. This episode, we invited Herps and Aquatics Curator Nicole Payne and Area Supervisor Jenna Hazard to chat with us all about the changes they make for our herptile friends.

Big O talks Dolphins and Cold Weather 121525

Omar Kelly joins to break down the Dolphins-Steelers matchup in freezing Pittsburgh, stressing that the cold will play a big role in the game. He pushes back on the narrative that Tua struggles in cold weather, framing it as a team issue rather than solely on the quarterback. Omar says Miami must run the ball effectively and stop the run, predicting a low-scoring, ugly affair. He also notes the game's significance for Mike McDaniel's job security and emphasizes that Tua needs to show his best in the final games of the season.

In this episode of Dads on the Fly, Joshua and Caleb catch up on life, fishing, and fatherhood as the cold weather settles in. The guys talk through recent winter fishing conditions, including how cold temps change both strategy and expectations on the water.Caleb shares the story of what might be the best ever boat ramp fish and the unmatched joy of putting friends on the fish of their lives. The conversation then turns reflective as they look back over the past year, celebrating some wins as dads and acknowledging the growth that comes through both success and challenge.They wrap up by looking ahead to future fishing opportunities and the seasons still to come—on the water and at home. It's an honest, laid-back episode about friendship, perspective, and why fishing continues to be such a powerful connector for dads.

The Fat One returns with another week of LITTLE shows beginning with a recap of the weekend which included a Nippa Walking Calamity, Friday at Fatty's, Chrima decorations and the latest production of the Best of Broadway series. Happy National Cupcake Day.

In this episode, the Hort Culture crew dives into the joys and challenges of growing herbs indoors during the cold season. After swapping stories about Kentucky snow days, childhood folklore, and the chaos of cabin-fevered kids, the hosts transition smoothly into practical horticulture: how to bring fresh flavors and greenery into the home when outdoor gardens are asleep.The conversation covers the best herbs for indoor growing—from Mediterranean sun-lovers like basil, rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage, to reliable cool-season performers like parsley and cilantro, and the ever-vigorous mint and lemon balm. The hosts emphasize realistic expectations: herbs grow slower indoors, flavors can be milder, and supplemental lighting is often essential. They explain how to choose the right pot sizes, avoid moisture‐retaining soils, fertilize lightly, and select the brightest window available (while watching out for drafts).Listeners get guidance on starting seeds indoors, preventing leggy seedlings with close grow lights, and even strengthening plants through airflow or the classic “pet your seedlings” method. Microgreens also make an appearance as a fast, rewarding winter crop.The episode wraps with encouragement: don't be too hard on yourself, try different methods, and remember you can always snag a starter plant or a cutting from a friend. Indoor herbs bring freshness, flavor, and a bit of mental sunshine to the darkest winter days.Growing herbs indoors adds flavor, saves moneyGrowing Herbs IndoorsIndoor HerbsCulinary HerbsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

In this episode, I head out onto the winter trails to talk about one of my favorite topics this time of year: staying safe while hiking in the cold. Winter can be absolutely beautiful — the quiet woods, fresh snow, and crisp air make it one of the best seasons to get outside. But it also brings its own set of challenges, and being prepared makes all the difference.I share the essential tips I use whenever I venture out in winter: how I layer for changing temperatures, why I always carry extra dry clothing, and the importance of keeping my hands, feet, and face protected from frostbite. I dive into how quickly the body can lose heat, the early signs of hypothermia, and what to do if I or someone I'm with starts showing symptoms.I also talk about safe pacing in deep snow, staying hydrated even when it's cold, and why checking the weather and daylight hours is even more important this time of year.Whether you're new to winter hiking or just want a refresher, this episode is all about helping you enjoy the season safely and confidently. Join me as I wander through the winter landscape and share what I've learned from years of exploring the cold.Mentioned in this episode are my "Bernie gloves" made for me by Rusted Arrow Creations.

Joe and Hollywood react to reports that the Colts are considering bringing back Phillip Rivers, with Joe saying it shows “how bad the QB situation is in the NFL.” The conversation shifts to Notre Dame, as the guys break down why Irish fans feel snubbed and why being one of the best 12 teams doesn't guarantee anything in the current system. They argue that Notre Dame needs to finally join a conference instead of being half-in, half-out of the ACC. The segment closes with a look at the Dolphins, who Joe believes are becoming better built for cold-weather football thanks to strong defense and improved run game

In this episode, Josh breaks down a simple upgrade that can completely change your cold-weather hunts: replacing your stock boot insoles with the Lathrop & Sons Non-Typical Insole. He explains how its insulating foam barrier, 3-D heat-trapping design, and solid arch/heel support help keep your feet warm, dry, and comfortable when temps drop. If you struggle with cold feet in rubber boots, waders, or late-season pack boots, this small switch can make a big difference.

Some of the best radio & podcast conversations start exactly where you don't expect them to…like poolside in Florida—in bathing suits, no makeup, and not a business card in sight. That's how I met Kari Berit—in what I call a "Random Run-In." Kari and her hubby were on two lounge chairs in the sun at a hotel pool in Florida. The only other slice of sun not being blocked by our mutual hotel building was hitting a lounge chair right next to them. This cold, pale New Yorker wanted that only other sunny spot, but I didn't want to be a too-close lounger (kinda the same as a too-close talker), so I asked if they minded. They did not mind. When I realized they were Norwegian (switching back and forth between Norwegian and English was a tip-off), I had to bring up the Norwegian word I've been having fun talking about for a few weeks on the radio and ask them how to pronounce it correctly. Friluftsliv! See, this year I decided that instead of complaining about the NY winter, I'd try to embrace the cold like the Norwegians do. Friluftsliv (pronounced: free-loofts-liv) is a Norwegian philosophy that means "open-air life"—the belief that spending time outdoors in nature, year-round, is essential for physical health, mental well-being, and happiness. Of course, it seemed a little bizarre that I was bragging about my newfound attempt to love cold weather while sitting poolside on an 80-degree day in Florida—but hey, no guilt. The Norwegians were there too. And we got to talking—in English—about why they were in Florida and what they do in Norway. (I was there with my other half, Dave, to visit his son for Thanksgiving. They were there to settle the estate after the sad passing of an elderly parent.) Fast forward to Wellness Wednesday and my ongoing segment called "Keeping The Live In Alive!" … I asked Kari to join me on the show to talk about her fascinating journey—from Minnesota radio gal to homestead living in Norway, where she now helps people create deeply personal bucket-list trips through her company, KB Norway Tours. Whether it's exploring stunning fjords, avoiding tourist traps, or standing on the actual land where your ancestors once lived, Kari creates travel experiences that are meaningful, soulful, and unforgettable. We also dove into friluftsliv. Translation? Get outside. Breathe real air. Live better. (I'm still working on the pronunciation—but I love the philosophy.) But Kari isn't just about dreamy travel. She's also a powerful voice in the world of caregiving. As the author of The Unexpected Caregiver, she shared real-talk wisdom on what so many families face—but rarely prepare for—caring for aging parents. Her message is reassuring, practical, and refreshing: it's okay not to know what you're doing. None of us were trained for this role—and you don't have to feel guilty, alone, or overwhelmed while figuring it out. This conversation had it all: laughter, life lessons, Norwegian fun facts (yes, they really let babies nap outside while parents go into a restaurant), and honest talk about family dynamics, responsibility, and staying sane while caring for the people you love. If you're curious about Norway, navigating caregiving, or just love a good "random run-in" story—you'll love this one.  Listen to the full conversation of this warm podcast about livin the cold life. Learn more about Kari's travel work at kbnorwaytours.com Caregiving resources at unexpectedcaregiver.com Sometimes strangers aren't strangers for long—and sometimes a random run-in turns into a conversation worth sharing.

Cold water changes everything. As temperatures slide, algae take a back seat, chlorine demand dips, and the Langelier Saturation Index tilts toward corrosive—quiet shifts that can quietly chew through plaster and equipment if you are not paying attention. We sit down with industry legend Bob Lowry to map a simple, reliable winter playbook that protects the vessel, extends gear life, and saves money when demand is low.We start with the biology: algae reproduction slows around 55°F, which means you can safely run lower free chlorine. But that win comes with a catch—temperature drags LSI downward, so water gets hungrier for calcium. Bob explains how a small bump to pH and total alkalinity can stabilize balance without chasing numbers, and why calcium hardness targets still matter even in the off-season. We talk through the practical side, from long gauntlet gloves that make cold work bearable to smarter run-time choices. If you are tempted to run the pump two hours “just because,” hear why that middle ground is worse than a proper turnover.Cyanuric acid gets special attention. After a summer of tabs, winter is the perfect time to lower CYA with a partial drain and refill. Bob also shares why CYA may drift down on its own—and in rare cases crash—due to specific bacteria when chlorine is low. The takeaway is simple: even in winter, test with intent, keep CYA in the 30–50 ppm sweet spot, and nudge LSI back to balanced as temperatures fall.• Cold water reduces chlorine demand and slows algae growth• LSI drops with temperature, raising corrosion risk• Open vs closed pool choices by climate and power reliability• Salt generators underperform below about 60°F• Effective winter circulation strategies and freeze protect• Partial drain to reduce high CYA from summer tabs• Rare bacteria can consume cyanuric acid in low-chlorine pools• Preventing stains, rings, and surface damage during dormancy• Practical tweaks: raise alkalinity with bicarb, monitor pH and calcium• Cost control in winter with lower chemical usageSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Cold Weather, Warm Muscles: Smart Winter Fitness Tips for Adults Over 50 As the seasons change, so do our routines — and for many older adults, colder months bring more than just snow and chilly mornings. They bring stiffness, aches, and a steep drop in motivation to stay active. That's why I'm thrilled to share our latest Live Long Better episode featuring Dr. Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research at the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Dr. Jo is a nationally recognized voice in fitness science and healthy aging, and in this episode, she gives clear, compassionate advice for staying strong and steady through winter. We discuss how cold weather affects muscles, why older adults need to warm up differently in winter, and what simple indoor exercises can improve strength and balance — without requiring expensive equipment or a gym membership. Even more importantly, we talk about the emotional side of fitness during winter — how loneliness, low energy, and dark days can create barriers, and what role the 6 Pillars of Wellness play in staying mentally and physically well. Whether you're caring for aging parents, guiding clients over 50, or simply working to age well yourself, this conversation is full of takeaways: • Science-backed movement tips • Real-world stories of transformation • Winter-specific warm-up routines • Practical advice for daily strength and confidence
