This still would not have resulted in any memorable lowland snow events this winter, thus far.

Are we going to go back and re categorize Nina’s though, or just continue to use the standard 5 consecutive tri monthlies below -0.5C like we have always done.

From what I understand cold water is pumped on to the ice allowing it to freeze, and ice is much better at reflecting solar radiation than sea water.

So taking the paltry remaining arctic air and using it to freeze salt water with drones at scale, thus releasing massive quantities of latent heat? And maybe there will be some positive ice albedo feedback in summer?? Why must we make these problems harder than they already are?

Sure, part of that is a feature of their elevation. They aren't trapped under inversions all winter. So far we are on track for something much worse, at least that winter had a huge arctic outbreak.
