I didn’t provide a winter mean temperature for the North Pole, but the mean temperature for the region north of latitude N 80 degrees for that specific day.
You can check it for today right here.

Article stated North Pole temperature as being -20F this time of year. No reflection on your post not intended. Atlantic is not entitled to its own facts.
The heat wave has arrived for the region north of 80 degrees N latitude. The mean temperature for today is a balmy 3 degrees Fahrenheit. The Greenland ice sheet will probably be gone by the day is over.
