In this episode, we explore what the LSSU unicorn hunters have to do with burning snowmen. This leads us to also investigate the origins of snowman burning festivals where booggs are burned in effigy of winter.
We also examine what burning snowmen share in common with Punxsutawney Phil.
Hint: Both are believed to have prophetic powers!
