You have lived in neither, and therefore have even less qualification for your opinion.

So, in all, you are the one who makes no sense. Your opinions have no credibility. Bye bye.
Can you read?

I never described as London feeling wintry, however an average winter day in Richmond would feel less wintry to me, because its warmer with stronger sunshine. Would this be true for all winter days? No, but overall I feel London would be closer to a wintry feel, even if it isn't that wintry. I don't need to have lived in London or Richmond in order for me to formulate an opinion.

Well done for finding the warmest winter on record for Richmond. The normal looking months are colder than what you'd get in London.
Well I just picked the first years that picked up. If you are going to be like that I will do all the years from 2000.

Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2000 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2001 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2002 - Historical weather records

27c..
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2003 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2004 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2005 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2006 - Historical weather records
Climate in Richmond, Richmond International Airport in January 2007 - Historical weather records

Quite clearly this Richmond place has a massive Standard Deviation. To me the average high does not give the true representation of what is expected in an average winter month there, I must also mention that the average high goes up and down like a yoyo. In the UK our average high is what we usually get.

You said it would feel more wintry than Richmond, and the fact is that it doesn't. When that part of the world gets it's -10°C cold snaps and foot of snow keep reminding yourself of how subtropical if feels compared to London.

You keep going on about "it would be" etc, having never experienced it. Without the experience, your opinion is less credible than mine. Don't cry luv! It's not the end of the world.

Daffodils usually flower in February but sometimes flower in January. Snowdrops always flower in January.

Daffodils always flower in Mid-March. Sometimes April.

Richmond may have its foot of snow () but the place still gets way warmer than London in an average winter. London's coolness during the winter is more constant and the fact that there's always a lingering risk of drizzle maybe for some people London's more wintry. In Richmond there's relieve from the cold in the form of stupidly warm muggy days while London doesn't get that.
