Fun guessing game. Looking at the forecast I’m thinking we could see lots of new ice in Central Arctic over the next few days.
It is looking that way.
Where can I find forecasts for the Arctic?
Watch the Arctic Sea Ice build rapidly. http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/satellite/index.uk.php shows strong winds from Siberia creating and moving ice into the ice pack. Awesome!!
The winds sure affect the temperatures…
