Even London's further North (51.5° N) than that.  The Gulf Stream does a lot for North-Western Europe, as Metope says.  That's why the possibility that global warming might disrupt it is a particularly serious concern for us - we could end up a lot colder, even in a warmer world.

I went fishing with my dad a bunch of times near Espanola. The first time we went it was in July, and at night there was frost on the grass outside. Being 7 years old at the time I went swimming in the lake anyway.

Woolly Bears! Aka Isabella Tiger Moth Caterpillars/Fuzzy Catepillars! They're so cute!

Used to predict winter around these parts. The 'winner' of the local Wolly Worm festival was almost completely brown, which supposedly prognosticates a mild winter.

GarandMarine:
It's the same here, I have heard it both ways, that a thicker brown band is a harsher winter, and a thinner is mild, and vice versa. However wiki says the color of the fuzz can vary greatly in a single brood, so it's best to not trust the cute lil'critters for a weather forecast.
