Boy - looks awfully arctic to me... not. Only one month a year do the
temps in Reykjavik average even slightly below freezing. I've seen
temps in maritime temperate Seattle lower than the absolute low
of -17.1°C reported at the link above (though only slightly.)



With a max temp of 11 C or 52 F(?), it's not exactly winter in the Bahamas,
either.

Well, Salty, we are talking about north of 64°N, that is north of
Fairbanks, Alaska or Whitehorse in Yukon. (the coldest I´ve
experienced in my life was 26°C below zero in Montreal, Canada and
just under -20°C in southern Sweden, the coldest in Iceland was -13°C)
