A new message reports problems have developed with the Arctic news service . . . April data no longer appears . . . I wonder if tampering occurred?

"Very unusual" melting seen on Greenland ice sheet

We remain without any news on the status of the satellite responsible for the data appearing on the aforementioned web address. I hope such is corrected soon. Over the past month, though the winter was mild, chilly air predominated; it had the feel of air adjacent to a long remaining snow bank and I wondered if same came from Greenland. Greenland is reported to have one to two miles of snow and ice on it and, when melting, probably can send a chill a long ways. One of these days were out of the ordinary for its niceness. Unlike most of the times, the snow geese, Canadian geese and mallards were pairing off at the Boston University Bridge and 'swimming' around the Charles River. Usually only one of these three types are in the water at one time and then by the dozens. Today though, is unbelievably warm, downright hot really. And I remembered I had said this could be a very hot summer; I hadn't thought about the possibility Greenland might produce an unusually large amount of chilly atmosphere. I guess it could, yet I remain inclined to believe this will be one of our hottest summers.

Global Warming
 

ALS Snowmobile Ride Blackwoods Blizzard Tour proves global warming can be bad for ALS patients. . . .

We are enduring quite a lot of rain . . . if you have experience the end of winter and spring time you might have noticed while walking past a remaining snowbank, the chill air it continues to produce. For the last several weeks such is the feel of the air around here, Greenland's ice melt?, . . . higher humidity and therefore increased likelihood of rain . . .

Some news re: satellite
 

Extended outage of NSIDC’s sea ice data source; April sea ice extent very low

probably among the worst time to lose a satellite . . .

Quick note to alert you to the partially restored ChArtic web site . . .

As one can see, the sea ice levels are well below normal.

I thought I should remind readers, the intellectual diversion of the North Pole remains a potential danger underestimated. The new satellite channel has not seen a full year of service and therefore its accuracy is not perfected. Further, the thickness of the ice is not visible from the satellite and is much more likely to 'control' whether there is actual danger.

Today three areas appear to be liberated from the central region but I suppose they remain connected via wet or under water ice . . . such ice must be at the minimum freezing point, implying rapidly melting. So, is there more or less danger than 2012 . . . the year of the least amount of satellite apparent ice?
