Now I don't usually do non-North American climate battles, but I'll make an exception here as this is a new for-laughs contest for next season inspired by the last frost thread.
It seems like Germany was performing considerably better than Louisiana this past season, so I thought to make a contest with this Louisiana-like Georgia location that unlike a lot of Louisiana actually outdone all of Germany with its December 26 last frost. Going forward I will make a contest between Tybee Island and anywhere in Germany to see how long it outlasts them.

Berlin's climate is better to live in for me, but Tybee Island of course has WAY more monitoring fun. I think I'd pick it on that basis.
Berlin is so much better, may be a little boring considering it's very standard for Europe but 4 months of nightly lows above 70F is disgusting unless it's some tropical island. Maybe i'm just a big wuss like i dont mind hot days but i hate hot nights
I think I'd prefer Berlin, though it is even cloudier than here. How much does it snow there on average? If I had to guess based on the precipitation and temp averages I'd say 10-15 inches per winter.

I wouldn't know I'm afraid. This thread was made as a shoutout to my last frost contests as opposed to knowing about Berlin as much as I do Tybee Island.
Speaking of those contests, if anyone knows how long Berlin's usual frost-free season is (guessing 6ish months?), it would be great to know. That way I can know how long to expect Tybee Island to outlast it.

So the point of this thread is to demonstrate that a place right on the coast at latitude 32 has a longer frost-free period than somewhere 1400 miles further north and inland? That's not much of a point.

Not to demonstrate it. The for-fun contest created by that fact (itself inspired by this year's unexpected frost reversal in similar monitoring places that was ultimately the inherent motive here) was the inspiration to make my next climate battle (hence my mention of a shoutout).
When it's needed I can't think of a better way to get the inspiration for my next than specific city contests.

My current residence is a few hours southwest of Berlin, at higher elevation and a few degrees cooler on average in winter. It's mid-April and the temp at dawn is 4C/40F, skies are grey with showers. Spring is just starting. The usual frost-free season in most of eastern Germany is mid October to late March.
I'm returning to the USA in September and will likely set up home base in the southeastern US to enjoy more warmth with longer Springs and Falls. I'll likely find a place in GA or AL, but not on the coast.

So then I can expect Tybee to outlast its counterparts by 5ish months, it usually only gets a handful of January frosts.
Got to give you inspirational credit by the way. You commented in the last frost thread just in time for me to set up my Louisiana contests, which were as stated the motive here (would have used Chemnitz but another comment was made there is no data except for stations over 80km away).

Do those very high lows have anything to do with that? If you're not within a few meters of the water with a large expanse of water directly to the north, you need to go to South Texas or South-Central Florida for an annual average low of 17.4C as Tybee Island has.
