London does have a winter of course. Key word here is REAL winters. In my view a mean below <15ºC is the threshold to already have a proper, distinguishable winter season. Actually the winter mean of London is 5.3ºC in the central station, so its right there in the limit (and suburbia should be below 5ºC aswell). That's pretty in line with the influence of global warming in the city, where winters are getting more and more milder and less snowy with the years.
That's more like basement winter tbh
The winter mean for Heathrow on the far outskirts of London is 5.3c (5.8c for the 91-20 averages). The centre of London has a winter mean around 6-7c.
I'd say any place with a combined winter daily mean (Dec, Jan, Feb) of below 40ºF (5ºC), as well as over 5 inches of snow per winter. So pretty much what we get in NYC, except we get 20 inches of snow per winter due to high precipitation amounts.
I cant remember a nice gentile dry snowfall with temperatures where you can wear a light jacket and have no frozen breath vaper showing.
most of my winters on Christmas, windy, eyeglasses freezing at -18c ,50 cm. of snow in 100 cm.drifts snow blowing sidways and the car wont start.

General rules of thumb...coldest avg high under 50 AND a coldest average low under 30 AND at least an avg of six inches of snow
As a practical matter, the "not a real winter" almost lines up with the 36-30 latitude east of the Mississippi, but dipping South as elevations rise west of there. Out west is basically Southern AZ, Southern NV, and the entire west coast west of the Sierras and Cascades.
Nashville and Richmond are the southern edge of what I consider real winters.
If it ever goes below the freezing temperature normally
