The annual summer to winter variation is around 2000gigatons(gt), the annual year on end lose is now getting up around 130+gt, on 94+gt lose over the decade.

2000gt of water can both add and remove a lot from the sea levels very easily. The near methodical reduction in annual ice and increasing decade averages are not good signs.
