Round here the number of ground frosts isn't that different to the number of freezes; still far fewer than would be recorded in Raleigh though (which averages 69 freezes vs 33 at Heathrow, 25 at Greenwich or less than 10 in Central).
Quite different to here, where ground frosts are 3X air frosts. 119 ground frosts and 39 air frosts.
The big problem is that the record lows in the south are much worse than anywhere in a England, and probably even worse than Norway
Depends where, the South, England and Norway are pretty big places. For example, a lot of cities have record lows quite a bit lower than London's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham#Climate
I don't think so, wonder if we use the same requirements what freezes would amount to then in london. Also I belive noaa uses
38 and below for frosts.
It would still be exactly the same as freezes in both the UK & US are for temperatures below 0C/32F...
It's difficult to put an actual figure on what will record a (US) frost or (UK) ground frost, as it depends on wind, humidity, cloud cover etc.. As I understand it the UK ground frosts are based on observation data, not temperature records, as you can have an air temperature as low as 1C/34F & not see any visible frost, though the ground temperature would be lower of course...

But it's so weird how London has warmer record lows than New Orleans! Wtf? New Orleans is like 8c warmer in the winter and 10c warmer in the summer (33c vs 23c in July and August). And then you get Baton Rouge which has even colder record lows and that place reaches almost 34c in July it even has colder record lows than Edinburgh which is insane cause Edinburgh is at 55n! Im sure there are places in Canada at 55n that have lower average highs in January than Edinburgh's record lows
Pero like you cant cover your face when its cold, you can't wear a ski mask cause you'd look like a bank robber or serial killer. So your face stills feels cold no matter how many coats you wear
Uhhhhh?
People cover their faces here All The Time in winter. What you talking about?

Out of the entire world, the Polar Low prefers North America above everywhere else. I'm convinced of this. Wanna bet this winter has more SSW events. They seem more common than ever with the warming Arctic. And when it breaks down the Polar Low is heading for North America.
Can't believe the Southern U.S. is winning by a mile in this poll... it's a disgusting climate that I'd never want to live there again(except the mountainous region like Boone, NC but still vulnerable to frequent t-storms), so give me the British climate anyday.
