What was the link that showed how much of the Baltic Sea was frozen?

Don't have that link but I just use this one for the whole Arctic including
the Baltic - where there appears to be precious little ice yet.

Ah, thanks Graham. I just did a google search and I think this was the
one...

No much ice at all, now that just shows what the difference is between
now and a couple of decades ago when 50% of the baltic would be frozen!
Global warming for you.

Keith,
Extreme cold in winter occurred as recently as 2002/2003 in Finland.
Many palces in the north of Finland broke records in December and
January with temperatures dropping below -40C.
I have one of those Baltic ice charts for 16 Dec 2002 that shows over
half of the Gulf of Bothnia covered in ice.
Global warming does some funny things.
