True, but much of the country is only truly "cold" for a very small portion of the winter months.

Lol what "much of the country" would that be that is only cold for a small portion of winter? We have three months of meteorologic winter, and within those months the majority averages less than 50F for high temps.

Maybe 2/3. Even Tennessee averages highs over 50F in February.

And using 50 F as an average high is a really high threshold to use for "cold winters".

No, did you forget? On city data we use palm growing, such as the rare, phallus palmus erectus var. Tom77. If you can't grow it you ain't warm.

I forget. Only winter and only the negative anomalies should matter when you're judging a climate.

Put your money where your mouth is and state here what the winter min temp will be in:


Charleston


Savannah


Mobile


Houston


I dare you?
Remember when New Orleans got 5'" of snow in December 11th, 2008.

Compared to Australia a high of 48F in winter is pretty damn cold. This is afterall a comparison of USA and as you two would describe boring Australia. I'd take Australia any day over the schizophrenic US winters any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
