Arctic sea ice extent on July 16 fell roughly between the extent for the same day in 2007 and the long-term average. The spatial pattern of summer ice loss has evolved differently from last year; this reflects the prevailing pattern of atmospheric circulation. Areas of low-concentration ice are also developing at unusually high latitudes.
Note: Analysis updates, unless otherwise noted, now show a single-day extent value for Figure 1, as opposed to the standard monthly average. While monthly average extent images are more accurate in understanding long-term changes, the daily images are helpful in monitoring sea ice conditions in near-real time.
Ahh curve fitting; or in layman’s terms, CYA.
That is actually the sea ice shown in red. The only hysteria is from the Branch Algorians because their scam is being exposed with each passing day.

For about the next decade, I would expect that everybody who lives North of the Mason-Dixon should get ready for winter colder than they’ve ever seen.
If the La Nina comes back, which it very well might, you might as well give up measuring snow by the inch, instead of the foot.
