I see that a buoy in the Arctic at 85.9°N 31.0°E reported a temperature
of -1°C
early on 9th Feb and +1°C late on 10th Feb. It then went back down to -25°C
yesterday. Fascinating times!
========================

Not at 85N admittedly, but Svarlbard seems to have been significantly above
freezing for several days recently. See eg post #2760 at:

Seems to be the end of the (relatively) very mild weather in the Arctic for
now, but interesting while it lasted.
