Seems like Paris had a much colder January than average. Wikipedia says that the average low of that month is 2.7 but the mean temperature of this January was below that around 1 degree below that. That's an impressive deviation from the average, especially in this day and age with global warming.
I use the numbers from Orly airport for comparison purposes with other cities. The Wiki averages are for Paris-Montsouris, which is closer to the center of the UHI. Orly averages 6.7/1.6°C in January, so this January was 2.3°C colder than average (5th coldest month of the last 10 years). Cold for here but nothing extraordinary.
Koud winters are hard to come by over here.
The last winter with a 100+ score was 1986-1987 with 113.4.
The highest score over the 1981-2010 period was 1984-1985 with 131.2.
166.4 so a zehr koud for our airport.
For lowland near the fjord, 104 points at Frosta so a koud
For Svinøy (62 20 N) at the outer seabord the score is 0, so a buitengewoon zacht winter.
In the winter of 2013-14, OKC had 146.4.
The winter of 2014-15 had 71.4.
The winter of 2015-16 had 16.4.
The winter of 2016-17 had 56.7.
