• Description:
  Striking differences were observed between lake ice durations in Eurasia and North America, with substantially longer than average ice durations in Eurasia and predominantly shorter in North America. Freeze-up occurred later than the 2004-20 average for most of North America (except for western Alaska), with notably later freeze in Canada (~10-20 days later), where warmer temperatures and more snow free days were noted in the fall. Ice break-up across the Arctic was mainly within ±10 days of the 2004-21 average, except for some lakes in Europe where later break-up was detected. Longer ice durations than average in Europe, particularly southern Finland, were due to both earlier freeze-up (~10-30 days) and later break-up (~10-20 days).
