NASA link. Extent and area are minimum or tie the minimum measured on July 8.
Current (3/16/22) data are very similar. Both Arctic and Antarctic ice are near all time lows for this date.
As for the current weather:
Record ‘bomb cyclone’ bringing exceptional warmth to North Pole
Arctic temperatures could approach the melting point as they surge nearly 50 degrees above normal
Temperatures
averaged over the high Arctic north of 80 degrees latitude are about 25 degrees (14 Celsius) above normal. Some forecast models indicate small areas in the Arctic, including near the North Pole, could experience temperatures as much as 45 to 54 degrees (25 to 30 Celsius) above normal Wednesday and Thursday.
In Hopen, an island off Svalbard in the Barents Sea at 76 degrees north latitude, the temperature recently
hit 39 degrees (3.9 Celsius), its highest March temperature on record.

The cyclone formed along the U.S. East Coast on Friday and Saturday, unleashing heavy snow and strong winds. Next, on Sunday and Monday, it tore through Atlantic Canada, where its pressure plummeted to that found at the core of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Then it swept toward Greenland.
“It appears that a new record has been set for lowest pressure on record anywhere in Greenland at 934.1 hPa measured at the [Danish Meteorological Institute] station at Ikermiuarssuk,” Mottram said. The pressure reading hasn’t been officially certified as a record, but Mottram notes that it is consistent with other observations and model forecasts.
