Another webcam shot from Svalbard around 14:00hrs today shows the early freeze getting underway. Sea ice seems to be forming quite rapidly.

Looking very positive atm. Ahead of last year for new Ice and it seems likely we will break last winter's peak aswell at this rate - just a matter of how much.

It doesnt look very positive at all to me. We're still more than 2 million sq km below the average and the only reason we're slightly above last year is that the minimum was marginally higher. Theres a long time to go until the ice maxima too, so speculating on a peak above last winter is very premature indeed.

Losing so much ice coming out of a La Nina is far from positive, even assuming enso neutral conditions next year could well exceed 2007. If the last two summers are merely a blip, we'd need to see the ice lost in the next few years on par with 2005/2006 etc. If summer 2009 comes in anything like the last two years, then I fear we've hit a tipping point.

Evening,

Cold looking air mass straight from the North Pole arrived in Jan Mayen today. Note the wind sock direction from the North and the latest soundings showing very low DP, hence the dry powdery snow.

Plenty of snow in Svalbard today, I'd imagine that's all we'll see from now until next spring.

Nice one ;)

Fear not TONA, plenty to come for us this winter methinks :)

early and steep rise now according to ..

http://www.nsidc.colorado.edu/data/seaice_index/daily.html

looking at SSTs from ncoda, the majority of the artic has temps at or slightly below the mean for this time of year. warmer areas such as chuckchi currently have temps ranging from 3 to 5 degrees...

beaufort temps have plumeted in the last week, from 3 to 0 in places.

this site is quite useful..

LOL - Hi Steve, must be Autumn if you're back on NW.

I saw Coastie's report earlier, seems Svalbard & Shetland are about to merge in one enormous Ice-Shelf !!

Looks pretty good up there compared to recent years, although October 2003 had some good cold pooling.

The more intense area of cold weather around Greenland this year probably explains how Sheltand got the remarkably early snowfall yesterday and the exceptionally low daytime temperatures.

Nice post! Yes a good solid overall colder pattern there with no 'warm' incursion and indeed a very cold Greenland also. A pattern that seems to have run mostly this year where plumes have been kept at bay. With low ice I think a major snow rebound will occur this year in the subarctic regions moreso than last winter..........and its going to be a fabled Hale winter too :lol:

Came across this site earlier, it has historical sea ice observations dating back to 1553!

It's from the Norwegian Polar Institute so I'm assuming it's legit???

Well if there is going to be an increased snow depth around during Autumn, then IMO this will bode well for our winter. Your optimism and Steve's apparent optimistic posts here and over on Eastern show (I think) he's looking forward to this winter also. Possibly more so than previous years! ;

Sorry for the OT post!

Evening,

At long last, polar ice sheet locking into the Northern Rim of Taymyr Peninsula in Northern Russia. Cold temperatures forecast in this area over the coming days, expect a rapid increase in ice formation. Looking much better generally than this time last year. East Greenland current now transporting ice flow to reach Scoresbysund ( 70N) by the start of next week. This is later than last year, but the ice volume looks to be quite substantial in transit.

That was the picture last week. Since then, good formation now taking place.
