Arctic ice freezing up fast

 

Arctic ice extent has some topographical issues, because it isn't some big circle, it has to freeze against other forces.

There might still be some action with the Gulf Stream sending up warm water.  That inflection point in the ice extent graph is when the leading edge of the ice hits that warm zone.  If it is a banner year, this year, as I expect, the graph will charge right through that bend.  The fact that the ice extent is so low right now, is because of the residual heat from last year (being so warm).  We'll see.

The main prediction is that the ice extent will go over the Svalbard, and N. Zemlya, This has always announced the coming of the Little Ice Age (okay, once in recorded history for that area).  

ps. new article.  Too much sop to the warmies.  They only have the Arctic not rising to 10C, but only 8C.  My hypothesis of a Little Ice Age, has it going straight down.
