I think Finland especially is prone to extreme cold because of Russia and Eurasia to the east whereas Sweden is a peninsula. Turku for example at 60'N has similar record lows as Sundsvall at 62'N. Not as true for Scandinavia.
And because there are no mountains in Finland to stop the bleeding down or from the East.
But in a week's time it's 30 years since Turku hit -30C the last time, so it's not very common here to get these extreme cold snaps.
The coldest month averages 2.2ºC, maximums of 6.9ºC and minimums of -2.5ºC (warmer in those last years). Besides, July, the warmest, averages 18.8ºC with maximums of 26.2ºC and minimums of 11.4ºC. Isn't good for a location at such altitude?

Wow,at this elevation and latitude here in South America the landscape is frozen and completely snow covered for months,with possible snowstorms even in summer
Esquel at the same latitude and half altitude is colder than Andorra la Vella in both averages and record low.
Oceanic. Even though it has warm averages, the relatively cool summer minimums and 8 months with average minimums below 10C, can only be explained by regular year round incursions of cooler air.

Interesting perspective. So Wagga is "genetically" more like Glasgow than Sydney, despite sharing more similarities with the latter?
What about Dubbo? I believe that it's a Cfa climate, if not the epitome of one.

Yep, how else do you explain those average minimums at such a low altitude and latitude?

We're talking genetics, not averages or thresholds.
