I find the "rather subjective scale" given at the beginning of the article is very strange, because any temperature below -11.5 °C is characterized as "severe frost", and there is even no reference - where does thus scale even come from?? It seems as if it was designed by someone who is completely unfamiliar with subarctic/arctic climates. For example in many parts of Northern Europe, such as in Finland, normal winter temperatures in inland areas can range anywhere between 0 and -30 °C, and even -40 °C is not unheard. From the human perspective, there is a vast difference between -15 °C, -25 °C and -35 °C, for example as regards what kind of clothing is needed, what measures must be taken to ensure motor vehicles function properly, and what kinds of outdoor activities are pursued. In the world, people living in these kinds of climates number in tens of millions, and to them I suppose it sounds just completely absurd to call any temperature below -11.5 °C a "severe frost". 109.240.91.249 ( talk) 09:04, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
