The Capital Weather Gang posted a startling new story about the unbelievably warm temperatures at the North Pole that are expected to occur by Thursday.  An usually warm period occurred a few weeks ago, and the conditions this time are expected to be even more extreme.  The warm anomalies are linked to the lack of sea ice and a strong storm east of Greenland which will pump warm air into the region.
