I too would certainly prefer to have the temperature just below freezing than just above it for the very reasons that you mentioned.
Just looking at historical averages, the daily mean in Warsaw in February is around -2 degrees, so the cold spell you're seeing (throughout Europe) is just a freak of nature.
