After predicting this winter to be warmer and drier than normal in most parts of the country, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that the average temperature across the contiguous U.S. this winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coolest since 2001, and many areas saw record precipitation.
Scientists at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. said that the average winter temperature in the contiguous US was 33.2°F. While above the 20th century average, it still ranks as the coolest since 2001. It was the 54th coolest winter since national records began in 1895.

There are several active volanoes under the Arctic Sea. Maybe there’s a commection…
Last Summer’s melt off is old news.
This article is so full of holes and inaccuracies I could throw rocks through at 100 yards blind folded. For example, if most of the old ice has melted. Sea levels won’t be effected if the rest should go. Why don’t they mention that Northern Hemisphere global cooling began in mid August 2005 and accelerated in January 2007. There is a lag time from the warming that’s carried over into the cooling. Sea Ice in the Bering Sea was the greatest and most persistent ever observed. Glaciers may take years to begin advancing or retreating in response to a cooling or warming trend. Also, if the old ice didn’t melt off from time to time the Arctic ocean ice pack would extend to the sea floor. In addition, the percentages they give are flat out wrong. Theres is 12-15% old ice, not 6%. Come on NASA tell the whole story.

Wouldn’t this mean that the “new ice” will become “old ice” within a few years? Or am I just being unreasonable?

Mr. Percy, if you are who you say you are, I have renewed hope for the future!
