No matter how many times you repeat it, it won't come true.
Compared to places at the same latitude it is colder in winter, and the record lows are insane.
That is not really accurate either. Compared to what places at the same latitude? East Asia is colder at the same latitude than Eastern North America when you look at average winter temperatures. The extreme record min's are colder in North America, but not the "average" winter temperatures. Compare Shanghai to Charleston, SC.
In some people's minds, the west coast of continents are what places at their latitude *should* be.
Hmm, that's an erroneous belief IMO. I don't think one can make any kind of generalisation about it. The west coasts of Africa and South America are very cool for their latitude.

I've come to one conclusion: Eastern Asia is cool for its latitude, eastern North America is warm for its latitude. Everybody happy now?

I was skeptical of that, and made a thread on it. You're probably right, but it'd be nice to see thorough numbers on that.

No it is not. The US South is comparable to subtropical North India/South America/Africa in terms of winter warmth. And the record lows are no colder than what was seen in other subtropical environments. To make the statement that the record lows are insane is nonsense.

No, all I did was present my point, and refute the faulty arguments about the South having the coldest winter mins of any subtropical region.

I finished my tour of the Gulf Coast, and I saw all sorts of tropical plants in all the cities, from H-Town to NOLA to Tampa to Corpus Christi, etc. I saw plumeria, papaya, mango, passion flowers, loquats, bitter leaf, queen palms, dates, etc.
The US South is a paradise for subtropical gardening. The heat and humidity from the Gulf allow for successful growing of tropical plants.

Did you catch the Derp Express? How was the onboard experience and most importantly did it have A/C?

Why not show us some of your pics that you took of these plants?

This guy reminds me of Kaul and his alleged trips to Yakutsk just to ask the locals if they preferred summer of winter....
Like Kaul, this fella is a special breed of mongoloid.
