It seems like this year’s melt should be related to all the reports of very thin ice last year. When do the volume comparisons start coming in to understand how much more thinning has happened?

Neven has the latest PIOMAS graph. It looks like we’re 75% below the 1979-2001 average (which, in turn, is probably below the real ‘normal’ volume).

Where is (was) Santa’s workshop?
Any news on what Santa plans to do? 😉
