What is Lake Erie monsters hockey team's mailing address?

Why does ice remain longer in Lake Erie than surrounding land areas?
Water has a higher specific heat than land.
What year did Lake Ontario freeze completely solid for one day?
Never. Lake Ontario has never frozen 'solid'. It may have frozen 'over' as in the entire surface. From Wiki " Lake Ontario will be at most one quarter ice-covered, in a mild winter almost completely unfrozen. Lake Ontario has completely frozen over on only two recorded occasions: during the winter of 1874-75, and in February 1934."

Why does a covering of ice on Lake Erie cause the amount of snow in snowstorms to be reduced?
Weather patterns during winter most consistently come as a front out of Canada, making a large curve as it flows down and over The Great Lakes. Indiana and Ohio also get weather fronts from midwest States moving west in nearly a straight line. The Canadian front, in particular, is responsible for ice and "lake effect snow". When winds cross Lake Erie, it picks up water droplets from the lake. Cities closet to the Lake get the most snow and ice on the ground during snowstorms. The City of Erie in Pennsylvania has gotten 6-foot snow drifts from blowing, driving snow. In addition, ice and snow ON the Lakes affect snow fall on the land, as does lake water temperatures. When ice covers part of the water, there is less exposed water for the wind to pick up water droplets to freeze into snow as it is carried to land. So there is less intense snowstorms with lighter snowfall and less ice storms.
When did Erie Panthers end?

Lake Vostok is the largest sub-glacial lake in Antarctica. It is 13,000 feet under the surface of Antarctic ice. It is about the size of Lake Ontario. Scientists believe the lake could have ancient organisms, bacteria, and even fish.
What natural disaster created niagara falls?
Niagara Falls was not created by a natural disaster unless you count the last ice age as a "disaster". The Wisconsin glaciation caused the great lakes to form by sinking the land down and making the basins for the lakes and the falls themselves are a by product of there being a large cliff (the Niagara Escarpment) where the Niagara River happened to flow from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
How much ice has to be on a lake be for you can walk on it?
I believe its 5-9 inches.
Was Lake Erie a glacier?
No, Lake Erie is a glacial lake. That means over thousands of years, glaciers approached and receded across what is now Canada and now the US. The friction of ice moving across the land carved out 5 basins. At first, the basins were small and filled with rain water and water that melted as the glaciers receded. The basins got bigger and deeper over those thousands of years. We now call those basins The Great Lakes, one of which is Lake Erie. By the way, a lake can never be a glacier, just as a glacier can never be a lake. But glaciers can carve out deep holes where lakes can form. Lake Erie averages a 62 foot depth, and 210 feet at it's deepest.
How was Lake Huron formed?
Lake Ontario got its name from an Iroquois word meaning "Beautiful Lake" or "Beautiful Water."
