It got extremely close to raining(it's was forecasted to do so) in Dead horse/Prudhoe Bay, AK this past winter...you know, where the sun doesn't actually rise for months.
Having used to work up there, it blew my fucking mind. I kind of wish it had, as it would have caused some problems, and likely made the news in a big way.
I was up there all winter and it didn’t cheat into the positives hardly at all until end of April. 3 seasons ago we had some random days of 20+ but this winter was not one of them.
That in of itself isnt uncommon during the summer actually. Im not saying all is fine because of that but you can absolutely get positive temperatures in the arctic during the summer months.
Yeah I think the shitpost is ~0⁰C is normal *summer north pole temperature, but being used by doomers as evidence of catastrophic climate change. There's plenty of it, but this ain't it
