Cool throwback photo from the Tampa Tribune facebook page.
"About 175 traffic accidents sent nearly 60 people to hospitals, some schools had to close, and one person died when he stopped to help a stranded driver, slipped and fell off an overpass."
Well please post a pic of your area when you are having the -5C January, cause there ain't no way with an avg Jan high of 33F, you are going to get winter after winter with a high of 5C. Just ain't gonna happen.
Why? And what are you trying to prove?

As far as your grass being so green, I'm sure it is the most cold tolerant of cool season grasses. Your avg summer temps are much cooler than here, so that grass you have wouldn't stand a chance here. It is too warm here and sunny in summer, with a much stronger sun given your latitude of about 52N. Your sunshine hours are very low as well, even in summer given the longer days.
Your Dec, Jan, and Feb monthly mean temps average below freezing, while here they do not. Any warm season grass in your area would look like brown hay all winter with those temps.
And just take a look at what our temps have been like for a year, vs the extreme warmth you have experienced. A yearly anomaly like that is pretty impressive, and it just can't keep going on like this year after year. Maybe next year I'll get to see Lodz with Jan temps -5F below average. I'd love to see it.
11 degrees Celsius, no snow and sun? This happens very rarely in January in ŁÃ³dź.
Wow, that's our all time record high for January. And while temps over 10C are not that rare in December here (they happen every couple of years), they're an exceptional event in January. Winters in Kharkiv are colder than in ŁÃ³dź, but not by much.

Our avg for January is frost at night and temps above freezing during the day, so when that happens of course It's more greyish. It's normal...

We had 10 days without any freeze so the grass got green. But tommorow we expect some days with temps below freezeing (not much), so It'll get grey again.

Yeah, so? Again - what are you trying to prove?

It can't, but I noticed that usually we've got 2 warm winters in a row and then cold one, so I expect the next one to be cold. Of course that doesn't mean it will be

You get grey grass? I don't remember seeing grey grass after a few freezes in Europe.
Speaking of freezing temps, it was 0°C this morning when I arrived at work.
But then the high at Nice airport was a balmy 17°C/63°F.
Flowering mimosa
Daffodils
Stone pines. I swear that thing isn't better at handling traffic than a 4-way stop.
It's About Time! Biggest of season so far. Good to have winter back.
