To my untrained eye the greenland-iceland gap is looking narrow.

Anyone got some past years data to compare?

You can compare previous years at the below link.

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/snow-and-ice/snow-cover/ea/20171001-20171120

 

Compared to 2016, there is far more ice coverage overall.

This has already been brought up this year, look at the previous two pages, this is current state of play and looks not much different to a couple of weeks ago..

Is my memory playing tricks on me or does the phenomenon of a bridge of ice between Iceland and Greenland not have quite a cool name? Something along the lines of Odin's Tongue or similar?

Oddens ice tongue is an area of sea ice off the Greenland coast near Jan Mayen, (orange box below). Doesn't seem to form nowadays though.

Believe it or not, we had mild winters when the arctic ice was 'normal'. Can't say it makes much difference really apart from the intensity of northerly winds; as demonstrated by the last couple of weeks.

Snow has practically disappeared from Scotland but more snow is spreading through Eastern Europe to parts of Western Europe.  Sea ice is also making good increases.

Quite a big loss of snow in Southern Sweden and Eastern Europe over the last 7-10 days.Hopefully that will reverse and we shall see more of Eastern and Central Europe be snow covered soon and then the continent can cool more ready for the Beast from the East to come to our shores mid-late Jan lol!!
