Well they keep saying to me that your mild winters are cold and i'm telling them that its not because its well above average and wouldn't look out of place here. (Maybe December 2012 was even warmer)
In winter 2010 we has something like 18 ice days, well thats more than you had winter 2012.

2011-2012 was the 9th warmest winter on record here
i dont think my winter 2011-2012 would have felt cold to someone from britain. the mornings would have though, the lows averaged colder than anything typical for the uk. the biggest difference would have been the sunshine.

I'm not at all familiar with he average temps for winter in your location. However, I am for London. Our warmest winters would feel like the coldest they get there.
Warmest December here 1877 Mean temp of 6.3C (lakeshore station)
Warmest January here 1880 Mean 4.3C (lakeshore station)
Warmest February here 1998 Mean 4.3C (MDW with an avg high 7.4C)

Yes we can get temperature spikes higher than London record highs in the winter, but those here are rare. Jan 2008 we had a high of 18C but the month's average high was 0.3C

No I don't, but it gets 14C every winter and sometimes 16-18C in February. I was talking about Chicago's weather from my point of view, which I clearly stated, and not from NI (thankfully).

Well its 2c colder here so your winter is not cold here. Infact that was quite mild.
