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.

It moved last week:

Ice cover isn't far off normal at the moment.

Thanks Darren :-)

That's pretty detailed.

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.

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.

It doesn't seem to say what range of years the "normal" cover is
averaged over. Whether it's, say, the last ten years or the last forty
years could make an enormous difference.

Reading down normal is averaged over the years 1965 to 1986. A strange
period to use but I'm sure they have a reason why!

Ah, thanks. That would have been a relatively cold period compared with
today for the Baltic region, I imagine, so if the ice cover now is
similar to the normal for that period then it's doing quite "well".
