The yearly record low is usually around -27C/-17F, occurring around two nights a year. Looking at the past 30 years, lows below -30C have been recorded a few times, around every seventh winter, the last time being in 2003. The absolute low for the period is -34.8C/-31F, in 1987.
Last winter, the record low was -23.6C/-10.5F and the lowest high -17C/1F, which is quite average for a record low high. Highs below -15C occur usually a few days a winter, sometimes none.
24 hour highs under 10C are very rare, although every winter you'll see afternoon temps as low as 6-7C a couple of times, however it only lasts a few hours and will usually warm up even if it's evening as the cold airmass moves away.
Also I haven't seen a good frost since 2005.
Melbourne downtown and the bayside suburbs don't get frosts. Inland suburbs will perhaps 2-4 times a year, but usually mild like 0C to -1C.
The average absolute minimum here (from my own records going back to 2001) is -2C.
From the local Met Office weather station at Southsea (now closed) the average absolute minimum over its last 30 years in operation was -3.4C & the record low was -8.0C
In Duluth, almost every winter there is at least one day with a low in the -20s F (-29C or lower). However, lows of -30F (-34C) or lower have become rare in recent years. The record low is -39F/-39C. There are also at least a couple days each winter of highs under 0F or -18C, with highs under -10F/-24C occurring rarely. These tend to occur under clear skies. The record low high, if I remember correctly, was -20F/-29C.
The average extreme minimum is -7c, but it can and does get much colder than that.
Lowest we get here is -5 in a average winter. Though if we didn't have such a big urban heat island effect it would be -10 Lower temperatures are generally recorded outside London.
Our lowest high temperature is probably -1C
Um, the average extreme min in places like birmingham is like -8c so I am very doubtful that London would reach -10c every year.

Um.... I said if London didn't have such a large urban heat island effect it would be lower than -5c OUTSIDE London -10c can be recorded during a cold spell.
And just in case you think i'mlying London alredy got down to -4c though that was because of fog...
In a typical year the lowest recorded temperature is within a few degrees of -12C (10F).
In a year with a significant cold snap, perhaps every five years or so, we can record a temperature around -20C (-5F).
The lowest recorded temperature in Albuquerque is -27C (-17F).
Most of northern New Mexico is significantly colder than Albuquerque. It's low elevation (relative to the rest of the region) and heat island affect moderate its temperatures.
