Same reason NE Scotland is so lush at the latitude of Southern Alaska. :)

  It is mad and being UK born and bred I sort of took it for granted. In my head I had a mental picture that London was level with NY. Until one time when I was reading a discussion on here about farming and someone called the UK "the far north" and said that we are further north than all of the continental USA. Mind blown.

    As an American this only hit home for me when visiting England in July. Sunset at 10pm and sunrise at 4am was lovely, But I wouldn't much like to visit in January with only six hours of daylight.
