Hmm, your numbers are interesting, but the ice rarely follows tidy rules. Let’s dig into the outliers instead of the averages.

Fine, let’s chart those wild deviations. The ice likes to hide in the extremes, so we’ll plot each jump on a time line, then see if any of those spikes line up with a sudden temperature spike or a satellite glitch. I’ll write a script to flag any outlier that repeats, and you can list the places where the ice seems to be acting like a stubborn friend refusing to melt. Then we’ll call the leverage points out of order, just to see if the pattern holds when we force it.
