When I was staying in northern Alberta, I learned that dry cold really does make a difference. It was at least 10 degrees colder than winter in Toronto, but it didn't feel much colder (except when we were working outdoors) because it was a dry cold.
England is renowned for damp. At least you didn't go to Scotland. The damp and cold seem to double when you cross Hadrian's Wall.
