No mild days this November. No day has even reached the seasonal average so it's been very cold as far as I'm concerned. Supposed to hit 9°C tomorrow but even that's only average and not above average here. Mild to me in Buxton in November would be 11 or higher.
We only went to 2°C today. About 10°C below average.

We only reached 4 the other day but we've had highs below freezing in November before now. Anyway this is an oceanic climate so the difference between very cold and mild is only about 7 degrees.
From what I've heard, it's quite normal for Hobart suburbs above 200m to see a few light snowfalls every winter. I remember seeing this on the Hobart webcam earlier this year.
Yes I often hear of snow down to 300-400 metres in southern Tasmania as well - not a very far car drive for those that might live right on the harbour to go and see snow.
Yes very rare. It seems as though most people slept through the big snow last year, and it was gone by sunrise.
There are places in the hills around here with an 8C/46F high, but unlike your climate, have below freezing average lows. Snowfalls are frequent and often heavy at this altitude. The outdoor ice rink is usually open for about 8-10 weeks in this town.
I see, if we were to have your climate which has a wide variation in Temperatures in the winter season our temperatures would be more like Denver. e.g 6c in daylight and -6c at night.
You did say before that your climate is more oceanic than mines, but we have much higher lows. Obviously, the British isles is much cloudier.

Well to be honest, we are going through a mild blip right now, its 10c outside. Although its back down to 7c tomorrow I think.

Hobart is very impressive, in that not only is the summit of Mt Wellington so close, but it looks like there is a sealed road to the top.
Nowhere where around here at that height, could be reached with such ease.

I guess it's a bit tricky trying to say who is the most Oceanic. Both climates are, but your area has more of the typical features of those climates, but I think NZ might see more fronts throughout the year.
Diurnal range here in every month, exceeds yearly range That is something I don't think is found in any oceanic climate outside of NZ, and would be more typically found in semi arid subtropical climates.
I to find that climates which receives little or no snow at sea level but have snow up in nearby mountains are superior due to having winter sports without having to put up with the fuss of shoveling snow. Not to mention better scenery
From my searching of climates I found a very intriguing climate in the third largest city in Croatia, Rijeka.
Thought it's a bit cooler then Nelson or Hobart in the winter it still rarely snows but skiing is just 10 km from the city, plus for a bonus it's hotter in the summer. I was looking around the city in street view and found it extremely scenic with mountains running right to the coast. One curiosity I noticed is that I didn't see any palm trees close to the waterfront but saw quite a few heading upwards including above the highway which runs above the city.
10 km is very close, I have to drive 105 km to go skiing here. There are suitable places within 25 km, but those areas will never be developed. I wouldn't want to live in a place that experiences snow, but enjoy having the option nearby. I like scenery that has a combination of snowcapped mountains and beach- it's what I consider "real scenery". If there are a few palm trees, or subtropical bush in the mix, even better.
Croatia has some very nice climates, with near perfect summers and none of the dry summer routine I dislike. It's not what I would consider snow free, but is quite a good compromise. I find it interesting that most places in the Mediterranean or Adriatic, have such mild lows in winter.
Coastal areas of Croatia rarely have snow. It's not entirely snow-free but 99% of time it is.
There are palm trees along the Adriatic coast as elsewhere in the Mediterranean but non-native, maybe except the European Windmill Palm. Most of Europe doesn't have much of the original forests left, it's incomparable to somewhere like Australia where vast areas of true wilderness still exist. ( The EU even gives subsidies to farmers for "taking care of the landscape" - as if they helped nature instead of destroying OK everybody knows it's because of the agricultural lobby.) Of the Mediterranean perhaps the island of Corsica has the best preserved nature (never been there though, only on Sardinia nearby which also has some nice forested areas inland).
