This is a weather post, but it will hopefully illustrate the daftness
of highlighting temporary upward
blips in ice cover through the freezing and the melting seasons.

The ice is now melting quickly, though the melt season started almost
a month late. Despite colder than average conditions in a few areas
during March, taking the Arctic as a whole, it was warmer than average
through the winter and has continued that way into spring. All present
signs show a fast melt to come, the number of polynas in areas which
will melt during May is greater than average, auguring quicker than
average melt and winds have blown a lot of older ice southwards along
the Greenland coast and this will melt more than if it had stayed
further north.
