Agree with the above, not going to happen here. But eastern Canada is going to hold its snow cover for a long time. Atlantic Canada is perhaps more prone to mild spells in mid spring and northern Quebec and Ontario has been at the center of very cold air. Snow is going to melt from much of New England in the next couple weeks, and polar vortex influx will become less frequent. But up north?
A few wintry days, with one or two looking like they could be in May. This is quite variable for London but it occurs every year. We usually see our first 18c/64f in late March.
Yep, plenty of opportunities for outdoor early morning strolls in a freezer last month. Couldn't it have gone to -30°C or below and be more memorable? One of the interior eastern French stations you posted looked like it had similar records to us.
Yeah -30°C sounds brutal in a way -29°C doesn't. Similar to a cold lover wanting the thermometer to reach 100°F than stay in the upper 90s on the hottest day of the year.
Not nearly as impressive as your past February though. Early January 1971 did better with three consecutive lows below -26°C. No sizeable city recorded -30°C, closest was Clermont-Ferrand with -29°C in February 1929 (airport readings mind you).

It looks very balanced in comparison with the anomalies diplayed by some European posters. The first half of 2013 was consistently chilly. Come June, I was fed up of below average temps. 2014 has been off the charts like in most of Europe though.

Looks like it "started" to turn around after you got fed up. After May you never had a departure bigger than -1C until 15 months later. And the above normal departures were becoming more of. 4 out of 6 in second half 2013.
The -2 in August 2014 looks so flukish unless that's the beginning of a turn around? How about this year?

Speaking of variable.... Tomorrow alone temps will range from 9C to 17C across the metro area (can't imagine London getting such large variations?). Then dive for the end of the week.
Weekend loos to be between 11-13C, but I will be in Phoenix where it will be 33C
