Seems a bit strange you declare that the ice isn't freezing in October when October isn't over yet. I don't know how to square the headline with the articles claim that the ice growth actually started in September. Unless that's referring to a different region?
- klyrs 6y ago> Also looking at the raw temperatures, we can see the eastern Arctic ocean is actually in positive surface temperatures, which means a low to zero chance of freezing over at this point. In normal conditions, almost the entire Arctic ocean should be at or below the freezing point – 0°C (black color) by the end of October.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agomaybe freezing is a process that if it hasn't gotten to a certain point when you are near the end of October that it will not reach that point? I mean if I'm watching a pot of spaghetti and it is at a certain point halfway through the 5th minute I can say with confidence whether or not it will be done in the 5th minute.

- soulofmischief 6y agoNo one said it wouldn't refreeze. The thing is we track these transitional periods yearly and for a good while now it's been shifting.
- meragrin_ 6y agoThe comments seem more based on the title "not freezing in October" rather than the content which says it is currently actively freezing more slowly than in recent years.
