Above freezing max temperature at Curiosity landing site.

In Friday's teleconference lead Curiosity scientist John Grotzinger initially gave the max temperature at the landing site as 1 degree above freezing:

However, later in response to a question for clarification on that temperature at about 22 minutes into the teleconference, Grotzinger gave the temperature as 276 degrees Kelvin. This is about 3 degrees C, or 37 degrees F.
The temperatures are expected to go higher as we get into Spring at the landing site.
