Thanks Knocker...

Interesting.

One spot on the minimum.(Assuming we have seen it now). Congratulations cannot remember my guess.

4 within +- 500 sq kms. (Pretty good!)

7 way below the final,. (hard luck guys!!! I'm sure you can do better next year if you try)

2 way above (well it really was wishful thinking wasn't it!)

Agreed keith, I'd say it's time for a refreeze thread now. Most measures appear to be over 100k above their minimum values now

Agree

 

Volume and extent going up.

 

Although I see the DMI not dropping off as is so common in recent years

Looking at the current min cf to the max in March just shows how much ocean currents influence the spread
