From my point of view, the whole of Denmark is a brass monkey zone.

I can confirm from my own experience that København in January is
bloomin' cold. It's on a similar latitude to Edinburgh and doesn't have
the benefit of the North Atlantic Drift current of warm water that the
UK is blessed with.

If the Gulf Stream ever fails dear old Blighty will be pretty cold too;
we're on roughly the same latitude as Newfoundland where they have
ice storms and the like:
