It gets MUCH colder than this all the time in the northern US, let alone Canada and Alaska, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, etc.

Most of inhabited Canada is a thin sliver by the US border, or coastal which stabilizes the temperature around freezing quite well. Ditto with Norway.
Can you share a good example of a large (say 500k+ metro area, the “commonly”) city that actually dips below 0F daytime regularly? Murmansk comes to mind.. maybe..

I've lived in over a dozen places in North America but only 1 time was it in a place with over 500k.
There are ~ 52 cities in the US and Canada with a pop over 500k. Those 52 cities make up 0.2% of all incorporated cities and towns. Over 75% of US towns have less than 5k people. The US is a country of small towns.
