Well I think it was at me because it wasn't to the point. But what I posted was relevant and interesting, i'm sure not many people would know that newfoundland can get mild.

*January

How long have you lived in Jersey? Our area always sees 50's in the winter. Our average high in December is fairly close to 50F.

But we don't see 50's all the time. Perhaps 3 weeks at best all put together (and that's if its a warm winter). Averages here are 44/27, 37/21, 42/26, 48/32. These readings are from December to March in order.

I didn't mean that we see 50's all the time, just that 50's are very common here during the winter.

You voted for the wrong option. I think in the poll options, 'It has never failed to hit 50 F in our entire climate's history' means that their climate is above 50F all the time, not that they reach 50F at least once every winter.

Yes, but it only happens around 40% of the winter days in NYC (more like 35 % of the time here). We are supposed to get a couple 50's and even 60's this weekend. SUCKS A** because my pristine snow pack will be gone and a white Christmas is no longer possible .

It always goes above 50 at least once a winter here.

FWIW, the longest period below 10C, in recent years anyway, was 92 days, in the winter of 2009/2010, from 11 December - 12 March.

I guess choice A) is very ambigious. What I meant is A) Every day in our entire climatic history has had a high of 50 F or higher (regardless how cold the overnight low was). I know that every location in the continuous mainland U.S. (including Miami and San Diego) have seen overnight lows below freezing. I want to know if either one of those locations (or any other locations in the continuous mainland U.S.) have ever seen a single day that has not gotten to 50 F or higher during the warmest part of the of the day. My guess is that both Miami and San Diego have recorded highs in the upper 40s even if it's a very rare occasion.

From once a winter to once every three winters. It's quite rate though 5C is fairly common, but usually only for a day.
