Beg to differ, I live 4 mile from one of the coldest spots in the UK. A village called Woodland in County Durham, for example on 23 July 1986 when the Duke and Duchess of York got married Woodland was cut off with snow (seriously no lies here). Its about 1500ft above sea level. Another place famous for its cold/snowy conditions is Tow Law in County Durham aka the frozen wastes, which still commands lots of snow, believe me global warming aint reached them places.
