What is your weather station? I have a Oregon scientific 200 or something and I got the disk but It won't work in a Mac, I try and put my data on the disk and it won't work. Its all messed up so I didn't bother. Where are the stats for the met office stations?

The metoffice site shows an average of 59 air frosts per year in Buxton, more than I thought.
Why are you choosing your location? It's obviously not one of the least frost-prone in NW Europe. while Cape St. James is in a tiny promontory surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, a great setup for few frosts. Some boost places like Cork for few frosts, suggests North America is incapable of low frosts at that latitude. But this station definitely does compare well, this year.
Yea but the west coast of North America is much milder than here in the winter. So it is kinda daft to sit and compare them to here.
I thought this was interesting that Cape St. James at almost 52N has not recorded a frost yet this winter (coldest so far is 0.4C). I am sure that places in the British Isles can beat this but for North America I find it quite impressive when one considers that places in Florida and California have recorded several frosts so far. In the case of California, I know because I had to scrape frost off my windshield one morning while I was there
Cumshewa Island at north of 53 degrees also had no frost last year.... Daily Data
You have to remember that last winter was extremely mild in my part of North America, and also that these weather stations are out on the Pacific ocean, so they are moderated year-round by consistent sea breezes.
In my area we do not record a frost unless it is -0.0c. 2c is not a frost at all.
