    Artic ice has reached 14 million square km (about 5 days ago) which is more than 2005's peak at about 13.75 million square km. I still think the ice could grow to around 14.5 million square km as the peak is around 3 weeks away, before the melt starts.

    I didnt notice that but when I look at it more. Thes the same amount of ice between the 31st of January and the 11th of May. I dont know why that has happened because the snow cover is correct.

    Yes the ice isnt doing that bad this year even though it is still way below average. It was probably helped by the lack of hurricanes pumping heat into the artic. The difference is all too apparent. Compare 2006 to 2007 The main differences are St Lawrence, Barents sea where there was next to nothing last year coampeared to this year and the sea of Othotsk. Hopefully the ice will survive much better than it did compared to last year where it just managed to be more than 2005's record sea ice minimum.

    There is a dusting of snow in Edinburgh but none in Glasgow which is expected.

    Its pretty cold now. But I dont think it will get much colder by dawn. At most 2C colder.
  6. frozen_north
    It could be worse, you could live in Glasgow where it gets warmer as the night goes on under a clear sky or not. It was -£C earlier on but has risen to -2C.

    The ramping is getting out of control on here. I wouldnt pay much attention to the percipitation charts just yet as they are going to change alot over the coming week. But one things likely, some cold weather for us.
  8. frozen_north
    Not not long till the cold front passes here. Currently a tropical 7C.

    Well you seem to have forgotten the snow that we had up here before the cold snap down south had pretty strange conditions. The 850 isotherm was around -1 or -2 and there was no 528dam line. But yet we still got snow.

    The Nogaps run always provides laughs as it is always wrong even 96h ahead. If the 18z run is the pub run the no gaps model lives in the pub.

    Cold front passed about an hour ago. Temps dropping, the wind easing off and the sky clearing.

    I think we should raise the SATSIG Level to 5 for the first time of the season. Ramp mania has hit the model outout discussion.

    The same reason its mild in the states is the same reason its so mild over here in Europe as well. Due to the redicolously high AO currently +4, all the cold is locked up in the Artic. Its not till the AO drops back to Neutral or Negative figures will lower latitudes see any cold weather.

    Yeah the snow does look nice. I never had the chance to go up North yesterday but driving between Stirling and Perth you could see the mountains covered in snow from about 600m up. It just looks so nice. Shame that quite a bit will be lost with the heavy rains. Oh well.
  15. frozen_north
    Its a nice mountain that but I never knew it was so tall 1000+m. I though it was more 900m after going past it.

    We have had showers throughout the day. There was a short time snow/sleet shower. Current weather Temperature 2.5C Percipitation Rain shower Cloud 8 oktas Wind Light NW

    I'm sure it was colder down in the valley than at the top of the mountain. No wonder it baffled them.

    This place is pretty much dead compared to last year. SATSIGs has remained dormant for the whole of December with really only 2 or 3 proper rampers. Although ramping does get annoying eventually it gives this place some life. Otherwise its too depressing like right now.
  19. frozen_north
    Too bad some of that snow is going to melt over this coming week. Hopefully there will still be some left and we will get some NW to bring some more snow. The worst scenario for the Scottish Ski industry would be this mild spell followed by raging SW. It looks good up there. I'm just amazed at how the Cairngorm has had better skiing than most of Europe.

    I dont understand where these massive positive anomolies are. I looked hard at every one and one are even way above average. Some are close to average but many are still way below average. Hudson bay looks to be freezing over nicely now. Lets see if it can beat last year where it took till 26th December to freeze over. Theres only the east of it to go now.
  21. frozen_north
    Its good to see Hudson Bay starting to come on. You should see the sea ice indicator on the graph head up vertically over the next couple of days as their is a slight lag time between the charts and the graph. Expect us to catch up with last year soon.
