  1. we just dipped below 40! but rounding, also 40/22 here.
  2. seems like MASN is canning a bunch of the broadcast staff tho (Kolko, others)
  3. we tend to get a minor river influence so that is probably part of it.
  4. 41 - I'm at 25th and L, and this is 10 stories up.
  5. so this begs the question - when is the last time DCA recorded an inch+ of snow? Jan 2019 right?
  6. DC proper struggles to get much below 30F at this point. We haven't been in the teens in like 2 years.
  7. I'm guessing this isn't going to be great for the remaining ice in this area:
  8. Dude Arctic sea ice is flat-lining in the middle of freaking January:
  9. 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):
  10. Buoy close to the North Pole reported a surface temp of 0.4C at 1300UTC today: Ice is getting slaughtered in this general vicinity:
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Vize Island, Russia still hasn't dropped below 0F. Avg high right now there is about -4F.
  14. How do these fluctuations explain what is only a recent sharp decrease in sea ice coverage?
  15. Holy sh*t - that end of year max is just not there this year for global sea ice:
  16. Here's a good animation showing those areas of open water expanding...
  17. 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.
  18. 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)?
