Sig,
I would have preferred an extended lower scale down to 13.2
2014 only just reached 13.5

I am choosing an outlier based on Gulf Stream shutdown.
A lot depends on whether the sea North-West of Norway freezes!!
14.8 sq kms.

neven1.typepad.com/blog/2015/02/piomas-february-2015.html#moreOf course, if you want exceptional weather, the Arctic is the place to be, as it is one of the fastest changing environments on the planet, so fast that we can see it happen during our lifetimes. But I think that this year some of that rebound ice from the preceding melting season will be lingering. That doesn't say all that much about the coming melting season, as it will probably take another year with exceptional weather (low temps, enhanced cloudiness) to keep it in the range we've witnessed in 2013 and 2014. But that's for later. Like I said, two more months to go.

Maybe has. Outsourching of ice has been pretty steady this winter. But the normal high is still approx 2 weeks away. But normal is a wide winder.

Antartica also seems to have about reached minimum.....pretty much exactly as high in average extent as arctic is low!

OK. looks like 13.27 will be the recorded high ice extent for the winter of 2014-15 in the Arctic.
Sorry my poll was so screwed up.

Hmm! Did we reach the maximum a few weeks ago?
