melt events have occurred at Summit in the past and I have quoted the longest-term average frequency of ~150 years (exactly 153 from the paper) over the past 10,000
‘Unprecedented’ Greenland Surface Melt – Every 150 Years? – NYTimes.com
The unprecedented melt has happened 65 times in the last 10,000 years. But it is worse than it seems. If there was any significant melting, the albedo of the ice surface would have dropped off visibly and dramatically. It didn’t change at all.
Every skier can tell the difference between fresh unmelted snow and melting snow. Fresh snow is very bright – and you need sunglasses. Melting snow is much darker. The snow on top of most of the ice sheet shows no sign of melt.
Look how much brighter the snow on Greenland is, than the sea ice to the north.

Does not look like icecap will be gone anytime soon.
The webcam must have been hacked or something . . .

Can’t see any water skiers on Lake Seth.
Funny how you discuss albedo of the ice whil psoting a picture wher most of the ice is obsured by clouds. And again you actually do not see ice at the surface in the elevated parts of Greenland,
That’s nor even firn up there. It is last winters snow. And this was melting at the SURFACE.
Something that you often enough dienied.
Reading your posts this tune pop up into my mind:
