64-68 days in my area.
With regard to other parts of Estonia Tallinn 61.5 days, North East Estonia 72-73, westernmost Estonia with their "maritime" climate 42.5 days. Thus 90-100 days would be an exaggeration.
Averages less than 1 year. Extremely rare to get sub-freezing lows in Portsmouth, yet alone sub-freezing highs. But we did have around 7 to 8 consecutive days of it back in the great freeze of January 2010!
Portsmouth itself doesn't even average 1 day, in December 2010 (coldest on record) Solent MRSC had just 3 ice days & in Southsea I recorded none, coldest day having a high of 1C. January 2010 had not a single ice day at Solent MRSC or indeed in Southsea... I have gone back through the Met Office Southsea station data & the average of ice days comes to 0.9 days (1976-2005 data used)...
Here in Malta there has never been an ice day, infact there has never been an ice night either
Record low daytime high (from Luqa) is 7C, recorded in 1956...

That's interesting! Just goes to show the difference the sea makes within like 8(ish) miles. Here in Waterlooville we had about 7 or 8 ice day in Jan 2010, I know this cus it said on the forecast at the time and snow didn't fully melt till mid feb, some of the snow men where still around well up till mid March. But in general I would argue an ice night is very rare up here to, perhaps about 5 - 10 good frosts a year. Icy days never happen most years!

Yes & those years that the data comes from (1976-2005) has quite a few cold winters in the mix too, so if you were using 1981-2010 data (impossible unfortunately as the weather station was closed in 2006) I expect the average would be around 0.5/0.6 days as even though 2009 winter was cold I didn't record any ice days that winter either...
Maximum below freezing is my #1 most hated weather condition.
Since the start of recording, Lexington has an annual mean of 18 days. There were 23 last winter.
