There are other islands in Ireland you know

Well if they can record an ICE DAY then obviously everywhere in the island will have recorded a frost.

But you missed the point, there are LOTS of other islands other than there

Some may be tiny & unihabited, but it is possible they will have never gone below 0C, just like Bishop's Rock...

Because its kind of obvious.

You can see on this map that the South western islands are snow covered. You need below 0c for snow to lie.

The westernmost island of Ireland is Tearaght island which has seen snow before.

You don't need 0c for lying snow

Yes, I would hazard a guess that somewhere off the Scilly Isles could be a contender for never recording a frost.

In terms of 100F, a few places in England have reached it, but none farther north than the Swedish town that was posted earlier on in this thread.

Hell, Scotland and Ireland have never gone above 32C I believe!! Something that happens here usually every year!

Yes Ireland HAS.

It is not obvious at all. Snow can lay above 0C...

Snow does not = sub 0C temperatures

It needs to be 0c for it not to melt and last through the day.

33.3C... pretty abysmal for a record high! We have recorded temperatures higher than that in 4 our of the last 8 years!

No it doesn't.. large parts of America in the north east have snow that lasts for a long time during Spring in 0C+ temperatures. At 0C it will begin to melt, but very slowly. It could probably last a few days at 5C if it doesn't rain
