Record high for the Trondheim region for the december - february period is 13.8C (Værnes feb 1990).
Norway:
Record high for Norway is 18.9C recorded at Sunndalsøra (62 40 N) in feb 1990.
Record high for the larger Oslo area is 15.3C (Fornebu)
Record high for Bergen is 16.4C.
Record high for dec - feb from any location north of /inside the Arctic Circle is 15.2C, recorded in Glomfjord January 1995.
Record high for any tundra /Arctic climate station is 12.1C at Fruholmen (71 06 N) from dec 1984
Looks like the winter records are 23.0°C in Huesca is 23.0°C, 22.6°C in Pamplona and 22.5°C in Zaragoza. Similar to Toulouse as they're south of the foehn-inducing mountain range. As for other föhn locations, here are the winter records for other piedmont Pyrenean cities:
28.9°C in Biarritz
27.2°C in Dax
27.8°C in Pau
29.2°C in Tarbes
Regarding the record high, I'm not sure, I guess it's partly the randomness of metorological situations and partly because southern winds are stronger near the Atlantic in Bordeaux than 250 km inland in Toulouse, allowing for stronger foehn events.
Regarding normals, Bordeaux is closer to the mild ocean waters so it helps. Toulouse often gets temperature inversions in winter and ice days aren't rare.
Not sure what isn't oceanic about the -2°F record low though. It's just that the right combination is rare in oceanic locations: a decent and fresh snowpack, a clear and still night, chilly air at 850 hPa and voilà , here's your record-breaking night.
-2F is something that rarely even happens here, except maybe this winter coming up
I don't think anywhere in the south of the UK has record low temps below 0F, though I could be wrong. I think the record low for London is -11.1C (12F).

The UK tends to have milder record lows than other parts of "oceanic" Europe. Here's Stuttgart, Germany:

That's not actually true. There's a frost hollow called Benson in Oxfordshire (NW of London) that has had sub-zero a few times. I think the record low there is -4F from 1917 IIRC, it's certainly scraped below 0F a couple of times more recently as well. There may be others, but couldn't be sure though.
Stuttgart is classified as Cfb since its coldest month averages above freezing (and -3°C).
