How much will the record Arctic Ice Melt affect the chances of delivering a cold 2012/13 winter?

[BlueSkies_do_I_see]

I wondered how much NW members thought this year's record ice melt would have an effect on this year's winter and whether it heightens our chances of delivering another cold and blocked winter?

On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being "It will have absolutely no bearing on whether we get a cold and blocked winter" to 10 "it is certain to result in a cold and blocked winter"
