If he is refering to the entire arctic, 4-8 inches over zillions of square miles sounds like an incredible amount of new ice.

I'm currently out in the Arctic Ocean. When I arrived it was -45, but it recently warmed up to about -20. There is a huge ridge of ice about 30' tall that was pushed up by a windstorm a few weeks ago.

One morning I went with a crew checking ice thickness, which measured 52".

Hi Yank, so great to see you here. I owe you an email.

So you made it. Seeing any wildlife out there?

Pinging Diana, see it’s actually warm where you are (grin)
