Holy crap, that's good.

@PoLaRobs Yes, it would have to be a shirt term and localized effect at best, but the formation of ice, of course, would then limit vertical wind-driven mixing, making potentially more interesting.

@PoLaRobs I think I've chatted with @carlosmoffat about it before, and he does the kind of modeling that would be important in assessing if this was happening.

@PoLaRobs I wonder how you feel about the theory of my former colleague Gene Domack (perhaps not his theory, but he was the first to share it with me) that increased meal from Antarctica will increase sea ice cover by freshening the surface waters around the peninsula and effectively raising ice's melting point.
