3. North East Germany
4. Northern Poland
5. Belarus
6. Very North of Ukraine

North East Europe:

1. Northern Russia

I agree with this except i'd take out Holland and Germany.

I was thinking about cities more than mountains.
Looking at the winter averages of cities like London, or even Glasgow, I don't see huge differences with some of our cities, like Turin or Milan. Here it is just a little more sunny.

North West Germany and Holland are on the North Sea Coast. Clearly North West Europe.

Not really west.

Look at the summers. At times we do not have them. I have had to turn on my heating system in JULY. Scandinavia does have summer.

A map would be useful for you here.

No it really wouldn't. Germany is really quite far in from the Atlantic and has quite a continental climate.

In fact in my first posts I said that summers could be considered "cold", but not the winters.

Yes we are laying on beaches in winter - in the snow. In summer the water around the UK are very cold.

Do you consider London cold?
