The data available here shows that the annual Arctic sea ice extent loss stalled out (at an extent of about 4.71 million square kilometers) this week:
Maybe a mighty wind will come up and temporarily open up some more water, but I wouldn't bet that Arctic sea ice extent will go below last year's reported minimum of about 4.27 million square km.
Note that last year's low wasn't actually the lowest extent since the Big Bang; it was merely the lowest since the satellite record started in 1979 (way back about two years after Fonzi jumped the shark).

(Here's one reason why I use the term "alarmists" to describe the folks at the National Snow and Ice Data Center: they endorse the "science" of Al Gore's movie here.)
