I wasn't trying to make any point! I was just saying that the cold comes from Greenland and 2010 makes that obvious so that is why it is better for me because Iamcloser
The point hrs trying to make is that NI lives up to his expectations that its a cold subarctic paradise. He can't face facts that NI is crap for winter maybe he'll have a nervous breakdown if he face facts about NI crap climate.

But just because you're closer doesn't mean it will be colder where you are.
I LOL'd because I am creating a "Ulan Bator" inspired continental fictional climate on Excel with very cold but dry windless sunny winters with down to -50°C temps (no it isn't a "dream climate") but also hot summers and when I got to the totals section I'd managed to fit in 92 thunderstorm days in a year. Hahaha.
Hm, guess you and owen are right. But, technically then the UK has alpine tundra, not subarctic. Subarctic does not depend on elevation, like in Labrador's case where there is tundra even at sea level in Scotland's latitude. Imagine Glasgow, Edinburgh, or Aberdeen having a tundra climate, that is the case for Labrador.
Subarctic climate is below treeline, I'd assume below treeline at some elevation there must be a subarctic climate. Or perhaps, because the UK is so oceanic that Cfb/Cfc transitions straight to alpine tundra as with cooling summers reach the threshold for tundra before winters reach subarctic levels. Here's a way to check. Here's Ben Nevis:
Assuming constant temperature decline with altitude, maybe you could extrapolate to figure out if/where there's a subarctic climate. Perhaps I'll do that tonight.
