Excluding Russia because they aren't always white, you'd be working with Norway, Sweden, Finland, and iceland. Considering some of those countries are a rounding error away from not existing, I don;t think they have a massive enough impact on the general european perception of winter. I could be wrong, so please correct me if I am.

No, you'd also be working with Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Czechia and more that I don't even care to name right now, all of which have numerous places which get as cold or much, much colder than Beijing. Hell, fucking Greece which is pretty much the warmest country in Europe has places which got almost as cold as the coldest it's even been in Beijing.
EDIT: Hell, even Ljubljana which is a major city and qualifies as southern Europe has gotten to -25.4C, which is significantly colder than the coldest it's ever been in Beijing. Same with Sarajevo and Zagreb.
EDIT 2: Ptolemaida which is in Greece (pretty much the warmest country in Europe) has gotten to -28C which is far colder than it has ever been in Beijing.
EDIT 3: LOL I confused you with the guy saying no place in Europe gets colder than Beijing. Regardless, here is a climate map of Europe: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Koppen-Geiger_Map_Europe_present.svg
Only southern Europe and the side facing the Atlantic don't face severe winters.
