So, Røst has a record low of -12.4°C (-9.7°F), while Tromsø has a record low of -18.4°C (-1.1°F).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troms%C3%B8#Climate

If people are unfamiliar with those two locations, it's the most extreme spot and city respectively north of the Arctic Circle in the world for their absence of proper cold.

Your challenge is to find much hotter places with colder record lows

I'll start!

Røst:

Las Vegas -13°C (8.6°F)
Sochi -13.4°C (7.9°F)
Jacksonville -14°C (6.8°F)
Rimini -17.2°C (1.0°F)
Seattle -18°C (-0.4°F)

Tromsø:

Austin -19°C (-2.2°F)
Athens, GA -20°C (-4°F)
Atlanta -23°C (-9.4°F)
Tbilsi -24.4°C (-11.9°F)

Can you find other interesting places with winters above freezing at low latitudes with colder record highs than those arctic places?

Laredo is at -12°C so equal to Røst

Columbia, SC at -19°C is also impressive!

Jacksonville, FL (-14 C), Gainesville, FL (-14 C), Savannah, GA (-16 C), Mobile, AL (-18 C) are all places with colder record lows than Rost at 67 N, and these are all places at 29.5 to 32 N!

Another interesting tidbit, Verkhoynask has a record low a full-blown 100 F (56 C) colder than Rost at the same latitude.

What about maritime hinterland pleasant Nantes:

-15.6°C (-3.9°F)

Granted, 47°N but a solid 9°/3° winter near the similar ocean as Røst is albeit farther from the "proper" Gulf Stream of course!

Bordeaux beneath 45°N only a little bit farther from the open sea (10°/3° normals):

-16.4°C (2.5°F)

Granted it's somewhat elevated but still impressive for the latitude.
