Default geography question. why is poland so cold?

if poland and places like that are in a similar distance to the equator as us why do they get silly temps like -20 degrees ?

hows that work then?

Thats an easy one!! It's because the flux capacitors in those regions dont get enough hyperactem solzons to generate the hypertensions that are needed to heat up the earth's core in the area. Thankyou very much

Poland isnt mad cold, but has proper winters and proper summers - hotter/colder than ours.

We have a very stable climate here temperature wise, due to to the gulf stream - currents that come from the atlantic. which stabalise things greatly. It's a blessing and a curse - as it's why its snowing, and 2 hrs later it can be blazing sunshine

By the way it's because of "oceanial" climate in UK and more continental in Poland. (I don't know english terms for those types of climate.)

Oh and it ain't so cold here nowdays :-( We've had some snow this winter but generally it been below zero for only two days now - it's about minus 3-4 in the night. And around 0-3 degrees during the day. I hope there will be snow for christmas.

Oh it's because high pressure, dry air from over Asia colides with low pressure, high humidity air over Britain .... Something like that - it's been some years since I attended calsses on climate in my secondary school geography course

My english fails me second time today :-/ First was quite more important...

I remember Cornwall as extremly cold at times so don't worry...

There is dvatages and disadvantages of living everywhere is it Scotland, England, Poland or North Pole If you dislike Britain at any moment think about it that you live in the only country in which you can have JDM cars like Skyline GT-R or Impreza WRX-STi Type.R and NOT eat sushi

Oh... I'm glad... I really thought there is something wrong with my English - I stopped in the middle of the sentence with no more words in a public discussion with professor Singer from Australia today and it was so embarassing...

Gealic is the language some Scots form the highlands and from the Isles speak. It's very very close relative of Irish language so they understand each other. That's what my small knowledge of european languages tells me.
