RIP My Friend. The great ones always go way too soon. I hope you can still read the forum from where you are and know that we all have you in our thoughts and in our hearts and prayers. Here's to an eternity of snowy winters on Mt Zucker and great gardening in all your summers!
-
I still think it will be difficult. The ice is much higher concentration this year in the CAB/CAA, and 2012 had so much rotted ice on the Siberian side. This year, it's more just a straight line between ice/no ice.
-
Also looks like significant improvement north of the CAA and Greenland.

Boxing Day, you mean? Lol.

2010-11 got the good pattern back too late...we had a very cold end of March with snowfalls on 3/21 and 3/24 in Westchester, but it was too late to get more than a few more inches. I remember there were still patches of snow on 4/1 in Dobbs Ferry, and there was some snow/sleet that mixed into a rainstorm in mid-April. That winter did not want to go. Had 3 huge storms from 12/26-1/26...there was 25-30" on the ground after that and then again after the 2/2 ice storm. I think I measured 26" in my front lawn. It was a glacier too; I still remember the moon reflecting off the snowpack as I went to visit a friend.

Thank god your health is improving. Your recovery rate seems to be impressive.
-
Yes but the changes in solar output are much smaller in effect on radiative forcing than the cumulative influence of rapidly rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
-
It's weakened somewhat but not NEARLY as much as the 7/27 map showed; that was almost certainly due to satellite error. That image had <75% concentration over a very large area. Seeing the new map, I doubt it melts completely in the East Siberian arm.
-
I may have been right...looks dramatically different today, more similar to before. These satellite maps are prone to short-term error due to clouds and other variables. Ice is much higher concentration now:
-
Greenland still seeing near record high surface mass balance for July, however. Very benign melt season there, so far.
-
Are we sure that isn't satellite error? It seems like an awfully big change from just a week or so ago, not sure if that's possible.
-
Looks above most recent years on Bremen extent:
-
Can you post the area numbers again, Will? Are we still close to 2009/2013/2014?
-
Doesn't the weather forecast look increasingly hostile though with a strong ridge over the Siberian side? Even if it's not a dipole, won't that degree of warmth (like +9C 850) promote melting?
