It was toasty last week in the Dakotas. Now I am headed into snow as I treck back home. I have a feeling that 'toasty' in Dakotas would be puffer jacket weather in Florida

It was toasty last week in the Dakotas. Now I am headed into snow as I treck back home. I have a feeling that 'toasty' in Dakotas would be puffer jacket weather in Florida Very puffer jacket in Florida. I am amazed at how many layers folks have on at 70F.

"New Study: 6500 Years Ago The Western Barents Sea Was Ice-Free And 10°C Warmer Than 2015
The Arctic’s western Barents Sea (Storfjordrenna) surface temperatures now range between 2-4°C. Sea ice persists in the region for 10 months of the year. A new study finds this same region was sea ice-free, 10°C warmer than today (13°C), and SSTs rapidly rose and fell by degrees C per century during the mid-Holocene. The western Barents Sea surface temperatures oscillated around 3°C in 2015 according to a new study (Łacka et al., 2019)."notrickszone.com/2019/11/25/new-study-6500-years-ago-the-western-barents-sea-was-ice-free-and-10c-warmer-than-2015/

That’s more than twice as big as the continental United States (3.11 million sq miles). ______________ Sea ice surrounding Antarctica reached a new record high extent this year, covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long-term satellite record to map sea ice extent in the late 1970s.}} From IceAgeNow Please compare link graph with statement. Figs do not tally.

"December Arctic Ice Nearly Normal
Date: 24/12/19 Ron Clutz, Science Matters
The animation below shows that in December sea ice ice has recovered in the central Arctic with open water found only on the margins, as is typical this time of year. ""The animation shows progression of ice extent from Dec. 1 to Dec. 22, 2019.
Most dramatic is Hudson Bay on the left filling in over these 3 weeks, from 445k km2 up to 1214k km2, 96% of maximum. At the top, Chukchi Sea also ices over, from 589k km2 to 933k km2, 97% of max. Above Chukchi is Bering Sea just starting with fast ice, and Okhotsk upper right growing ice as usual. The two places lagging behind in ice recovery are Bering Sea and Baffin Bay."rclutz.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/dec-22-arctic-ice-nearly-normal/

The stuff of nightmares surely. The nightmare will intensify if the Antarctic continues to exceed last Summer's extent.

The stuff of nightmares surely. The nightmare will intensify if the Antarctic continues to exceed last Summer's extent. Land still available here ... chiggers, ticks and black flies included. But few snakes or poisonous spiders and NO crocks. Weapons allowed.

However, described here in our composite analyses of diverse surface- and satellite-based observations, we find that abundant boundary layer clouds are associated with low lead flux periods, while fewer boundary layer clouds are observed for high lead flux periods. Motivated by these counterintuitive results, we conducted three-dimensional cloud-resolving simulations to investigate the underlying physics. We find that newly
