Sure there is a difference, especially on warm days by almost a 30 degrees difference. The cold in Barrow stays around a lot longer due it's longitude. Just take a look.
Barrow -
Climatological Data - Barrow
Fairbanks -
Climatological Data - Fairbanks International Airport
What's better to compare is between Vancouver, BC and The Dalles, Oregon with both near large body of water and similar elevation.
