Well def Jeff (Masters, that is) has a really good summary on his current Weather Underground blog, so rather than just repeating it here, follow the shiny link.  Summary: It wasn't worse than the worst thing evar.  It was second-worst.  W00t.

(source)  The most optimistic spin you can put on that is a blip in an otherwise accelerating downward trend.  The worst spin?  A step phase change.  Aw, crap. 

Melting!

Remember that North Pole webcam that I mentioned the other day?  Behind the cut is a shot of it sitting in a pool of its own meltwater.

Sure, surface melt is not uncommon in the Arctic, but it's a chilling sight, no?

Anyone got a sea kayak I can borrow?  My kayak-to-the-North-Pole plans are being brought forward by a few years.  :(
