And we begin... Part Deux

More large gains in Siberia and Kazakhstan... very amazing considering the time of year

I think you meant Siberia and Mongolia, but we got the point.

Large gains in Russia, small (but impressive given the time of year) gain in China... keep in mind with these numbers that last year had a very early start to the snow season... so it is almost unbelievable that snow is currently ahead of last year.

Sorry if there's some rule against triple-posting, but this is absolutely phenomenal.

Current (2 days ago... FSU uses a delayed dataset) snow/ice cover vs average... notice especially that ice is well below average, yet snow is hugely above average:

Past year's graph... last year had more ice than this year, and it had a particularly early snow cover recovery... looks like we're crossing average even earlier this year, even with much less ice... snow cover is amazing right now:

35-55N snow cover... notice it's non-zero currently:

35-55N snow cover for the past year... notice that last year (which had a record-early start on the FSU dataset) started LATER than this year:

Starting today, I will begin to add FSU-like 12Z GFS Analysis snow cover maps courtesy of InstantWeatherMaps.com.

Oops forgot to post yesterday... so here's two days in one post.

Pixel counting to me works better as it gives a definitive number that you can relate to, day to day and year to year. These maps look very similar from one to another.
