If it makes any of you feel better, at least in NYC the heavy snow is nice for about 10 min after it's done then it is f'ing miserable for days/weeks.

"i can't believe how many people live in the most densely populated center of our entire region"
-
here right in the city, we still have bugs flying around etc. barely been below freezing.
-
I'm guessing this isn't going to be great for the remaining ice in this area:
-
We did it guys!!!
-
It's going the wrong way again.

Dude Arctic sea ice is flat-lining in the middle of freaking January:
-
Umm
-
Some good data from one of our own: It's kind of insane that over half of the days of 2016 set daily records for low sea ice. I mean, can you imagine if there were a particular station that recorded daily record highs for 200 days of a particular year? Alarm bells would be blaring far and wide... Also, I found this graph PARTICULARLY troubling (from Svalbard, Norway):
-
Buoy close to the North Pole reported a surface temp of 0.4C at 1300UTC today: Ice is getting slaughtered in this general vicinity:
-
This unprecedented warmth in the Arctic just continues and continues. Vize Island, Russia (which is at about 80º N latitude) has yet to dip below 0ºF. It's avg HIGH for December is -5ºF.

Welp And along the Arctic Coast in AK
-
We have enough data on sea ice to know that its current status is anomalous - even compared to the prior warm phase AMO period in the mid 20th Century.
-
Vize Island, Russia still hasn't dropped below 0F. Avg high right now there is about -4F.
-
How do these fluctuations explain what is only a recent sharp decrease in sea ice coverage?
-
Holy sh*t - that end of year max is just not there this year for global sea ice:
-
Here's a good animation showing those areas of open water expanding...
-
Even if it's a coincidental confluence of events that's behind this, you'd have to think we are approaching a situation where it starts to "run away" so to speak. In other words, melting begets melting.
-
Is it possible that there those record levels in the Antarctic over the past couple years were only in coverage and not necessarily volume (as in, the ice was more widespread but demonstrably thinner)?
-
Some of what I read suggests some changes in circumpolar winds, but to cause an almost 6SD drop?
-
Not an error. Something is going on... http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/arctic-antarctic-sea-ice-polar-global-warming-climate-change-india-alaska-a7458881.html

Meanwhile in Antarctica, a big ol' WTF
-
Sea ice growth in the Arctic slowing again:
-
"source of data" != your anecdotal monitoring
-
Look at the buoys at or above 80N - temps are are in the mid-upper 20s F wtf. http://iabp.apl.washington.edu/maps_daily_table.html
