For the first time on record, precipitation on Saturday at the summit of Greenland — roughly two miles above sea level — fell as rain and not snow.
Temperatures at the Greenland summit over the weekend rose above freezing for the third time in less than a decade. The warm air fueled an extreme rain event that dumped 7 billion tons of water on the ice sheet, enough to fill the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall in Washington, DC, nearly 250,000 times.
What makes them think there will ever be ice there again to hold that record?
True indeed, but I wonder just how much there is up there.

The front stalled over one area and dumped a foot and a half of rain in only a few hours. One man on TV said that he put a couple go bags of clothes and food in his truck, went back into the house to get his kids and by the time he got back outside just seconds later, everything was gone.
Another man reported he walked out of his house to size up the situation, heard a loud noise, looked to his left and saw what he called "a mini tsunami" coming right at him. He was lucky to survive it.

Holy shit. And that was a small town too. That must have been closer to a tidal wave.
