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.


Don't forget that we are still quite early in the winter season. I would
guess that in an average year the maximum ice extent in the Baltic
wouldn't be reached until late February.
