Greenland's first "average" mass balance day since mid-June. It looks like the snowy spell has ended, but wow...
I don't think people appreciate how extraordinarily cold and snowy Greenland has been this summer, with positive mass balance days at what is normally the peak of the melt season. It's the one upshot of all this extreme heat in Europe:
The only upshot off this heat in Europe and Eastern North America is that heat isn't on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Greenland has thus far had a very mild summer, with mass balance staying well above norms from the last century. However two more months of melt season remain:
It was a very wet January here in the Northeast - persistent weather from the East rather than the West as usual:
