Just a few days later & already 2018 Arctic sea ice extent has risen 130,000 square kilometers more than 2016......to-date 2016 Arctic sea ice should dramatically continue as the lowest extent at this time of year, of any satellite year.

A day later, to-date 2018 Arctic sea ice extent has jumped to a quarter million square kilometers more than 2016.

A day later, to-date 2018 Arctic sea ice extent has jumped to 440,000 square kilometers more than 2016. The 2018 sea ice rise has even passed the 2012, so 2018 is already in to-date 3rd place lowest sea ice.
As stated in earlier posts, cold sliding off the Greenland Ice Sheet & then proceeding into the High Arctic is reducing heat in the High Arctic, allowing increasing Arctic sea ice to form. I had NOT expected to-date 2018 sea ice to keep up with the record 2016 low sea ice. & the record high temperature anomalies of 2016 High Arctic are still ahead.
