Belgrade had 34 days in a row with temperature below zero during the whole day from December 23, 1892 to January 25, 1893. Such days in Serbian are known as "ledeni dani" ("cold days").
Here are temperatures in Belgrade for period which I mentioned. Far right column are highs and adjacent column left are lows (in Celsius). Lowest temperature ever in Belgrade -26.2c in measured on January 10, 1893, as it's visible down (high on that day was -10.3c).
Interestingly enough, January 1893 was also the second coldest month on record for the Raleigh area.
Currently working on a post about the first above freezing highs, first above freezing lows, last above freezing highs, and last above freezing lows, during the year in various locations in the high Arctic (75+ degrees north), with data from around the globe - the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Svalbard, and Russia. Believe me, the Russian data is a pain to work with - it's hard to find websites that have this stuff recorded in English to begin with. Canada's a snap, thanks to the Environment Canada website. You'll be surprised at some of the dates and distributions of the dates. It's long - I might put it into its own thread. Expect it Dec 24 or shortly after Christmas.

In Belgrade January 1893 was the second coldest month since existence of measurements with mean temperature of -9.4c
Colder was only January 1864 with -9.6c
Southport is the warmest place in NC with a yearly mean of 64.6°F and is more similar to the northern Gulf of Florida than it is to NC and Mt Mitchell is the coldest place in NC with a yearly mean of 42.5°F and is more similar to Ontario than it is to NC.

Crazy how cold Mt. Mitchell is even given its altitude, never been above 81 F / 27 C. Most places in NC get above 81 for an average high for a few months out of the year.
Even Deadhorse, AK, a tundra climate (and not a borderline one) on the Arctic coastline at 70 North, has hit 85 F / 29 C, and gets to 80 every four years on average.
Not to mention, only four months out of the year average above 50 F / 10 C, making it a minimal Dfb climate, pretty close to a Dfc.
Although the winters in Mt. Mitchell aren't all that severe, their summers are just so... nerfed.

Yeah it's pretty crazy just how cold Mt Mitchell is. I went camping near the summit this past June for 4 nights and it never got above 60°F and rained almost every day while the rest of the state was sweltering. NOAA data says that it actually reached 87°F on July 3rd, 1925 but I'm not sure that I believe that because nearby stations didn't report any usually high heat on that day. Yeah, it has a borderline subarctic climate, which is crazy for it's location. Usually the hottest that it gets in a normal year is 73°F, which it actually reached this March and broke the record for that month. It hasn't gotten any hotter since then.
