The climate, winter, northern MN.
Yes, my favorite climate is very similar to northern MN or just a little colder.

If you were to look at my weather reports you'd see that its not as mild as you'd think and we do get snow- Infact its colder here right now and has been for ages than the NE of the USA.It isn't constant drizzle. Infact, it hardly ever drizzles here.
You need to realise also that the British Isles is not only London. London has quite a different climate than the rest of the country, infact i'd say it would be more similar to the likes of Dunkirk or Calais.
Lol, I know the geography of the British Isles quite well. From what you describe, from where you live is like the Buxton of NI apparently, hardly representative of the British Isles. Your local climate is not the norm, more the exception.
And actually, if we assume you live near Coleraine and I live near Harrisburg, our lows were about the same, plus or minus a few degrees Celsius. I live near Washington, DC as well, near the southern border of the NE USA. Where Cambium and nei live the lows were much lower than both of ours.
I don't keep a record but I know my average low last month was 3c which is well below.
Think it'd be about 2c so far.
Mean max don't know, but will be around 6c. I'm doubtful that your average high is 9c.
I'd rather have a cold day and a medium min than a warm day and a low min.
No official stats provided by the MET office?
It was 9 C just a moment ago when I was typing the post, but the official data just crept up to 10 C since today's a little above average. Keep in mind one day is missing due to power outage, but I do know that day was below average so it probably is really around 9 C. This month's average high will still most likely end up cooler than 10 C since maxes are forecasted to drop back below average starting Saturday.
I thought you were annoyed with the lack of freezes in your area?

I was born and raised in an oceanic climate in Germany/Netherlands with cool wet winters (0C-5C) and warm summers (20C-25C). I don't like it because there is not much variety. I'd love to live in a continental climate with much snow and hot summers with frequent thunderstorms
I feel sorry for you guys born in France and the UK (seems like our Weather regulars are only from those 2 EU nations, except one from Finland and another from Estonia). Born in countries that are convection graveyards with slate gray skies all winter and yucky cold drizzle
I feel lucky that I live in the mildest and sunniest area in the whole country (and a large part of the continent). Where I work (Monaco) most likely has the single mildest climate in continental Europe after Menton (which is, as a matter of fact, just next to it):
I would like to know why Nice has warmer winter minimums than here (by 4C in the coldest month), when both have similar winter maximums, sea temps and sun hours.

Take absolutely no notice of him - he talks pure crap. There are seven NI official weather stations on this site The month so far - in the British Isles from St Angelo to Glenanne and all have had average highs between 8-9C and lows between 3-5C. Five of the seven NI sites have had at least some frost (there is no data for how many) but none has gone below -2.0C.

Well, Nice does have a mountain range sitting behind it. Maybe that explains it, it's a sheltered location

Can anyone find a milder place than Menton in mainland Europe?
Southern France, especially around Nice, has a very nice climate. Does the rain fall down as drizzle or normally? Too bad most of France is not Nice, whereas Spain has Nice's climate and warmer from Barcelona to the Portuguese border
