Indeed - average winter temperatures are freezing (0 C). The -30 figure is for those really cold days in Dark Season (and by extension there may be more kindly days in Storm season).

I think of them as those nasty cold-snaps that last 2-3 days before
seasonal temperatures return whe the darkness really bites, so yes.
Of course YGMV. Using TR's weather info can help here - especially
when you want to know weather for a story instead of climate for
background.

Not a bad approximation. I tried to baseline on some real-world data,
and adjust for what we knew from previous sources. Greg then adjusted
it for his feel of the numbers. I don't really want to get into
exactly where my baseline numbers came from for fear of everyone
saying 'DP is X' when that's not true, but this is about the right
feel.
