"Update at 10 p.m.: There is conflicting information about what the average temperature at the North Pole is at this time of year. An educational website run by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute ( http://polardiscovery.whoi.edu/poles/weather.html )indicates it is -40 degrees. However, meteorologist Ryan Maue ( https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/681668359629467650 ) indicates a re-analysis dataset suggests it is closer to -20 degrees (-29 Celsius). This story has been updated based on the assumption the average temperature is around -20 degrees, meaning the departure from average as a result of this storm would be over 50 degrees (as opposed to 70 degrees as stated when published initially)." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...s-70-degrees-above-normal-at-north-pole/
