It was 42 km southwest of Santorini so I doubt it has any relevance to the volcano. Interesting map though as it shows how active western and southern Greece is. Karyo
I love the ECM tonight! Plenty of showers, often slow moving and rather cool with some snow on high ground.
With the sun continuing to be quiet, southerly tracking lows may be a frequent feature again this summer!

That's interesting and may give us something to focus on! I don't know why Katla is taking so long. It's been now 2 years since Eya erupted and those two usually follow each other. Karyo
The sun remains quiet! Three little sunspots can be seen on the earth facing side of the sun but they are not actively flaring. solar flux:104 http://www.spaceweather.com/ Karyo
I have been following this link for a few years now and I have never seen the current coverage as near to the average as this! http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_timeseries.png
Obviously, there is the subject of the ice thickness but in terms of extent I've never seen it so good!

Surely the fact that the ice is still increasing in the second half of March is a big positive! I'd rather focus on that for now and worry about what may or may not happen much later in the season.
There was a post by another member on the 3rd February saying that the synoptics for the rest of the winter were not good and that no significant increase was expected! Despite that, the synoptics became favourable since then and where we are now must be a surprise for many people!

Are we heading for a new peak?

It seems that the spring melt is delayed this year.
