In Central Europe the snow line has already shifted north / east; only the Alps have a significant amount of snow whereas in the U.S. there is again more snow in the east. There is a bit more sea ice around Greenland. Svalbard seems already detached from the sea ice. In the region of Alaska there hasn't been much change. Around Antarctia seasonal melting went on and soon the minimum is reached.
