Temperatures around the North Pole have dropped down to nearly -5C, meaning that new ice should start forming fairly soon.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

But the ice will be thin and rotten.
John you beat me too it … only I was planning to say thin, rotten, slushy, decayed and first year … did we get all the scary alarmist ice adjectives?

Maybe walk home.
We could change ‘row row row your boat’ in ‘walk on walk on you never walk alone’ .
Erm, yeah. If they’re walking, they’ll likely pick-up an escort of the Ursine variety. At least until the “escort” gets hungry.

Weather forecast has been trending to low pressure moving in over Canada, and high pressure over Russian and Alaskan regions. Strong southerly flow into the pole coming up from the Atlantic. But cold weather from Russia around into Canada. Ice will be pushing back toward these regions. So a strong southerly flow into pole translates into cold northerly and easterly flows elsewhere in the basin.
