Good Day Sunshine

Sunshine speeded Swiss glacier melt

"...faster than today, even though warmer average temperatures are being recorded now, Swiss researchers said Monday."

"...Their study into the impact of solar radiation on Alpine glaciers made the "surprising discovery" that in the 1940s, and especially summer 1947, the ice floes lost the most ice since measurements begin 95 years ago...."

Meanwhile, things are marginally better here in the frozen north. Windchill is currently only -36C. Sigh.
