1. Florida would have no winter whatsoever. There would be no dry season, it would be like July all year 33c and afternoon downpours.
2. California would turn into a Florida with a dry season.
3. Seattle would become California.
4. Winnipeg would have a long summer but still chilly winters.
5. NYC would be in the Sub tropics with a poor winter.
*It would be a little colder than average due to North Americas vastness from north to south
* inland tropical areas would be dry most of the time, kind of like the deserts in South America.

- Winnipeg would be at 30N, I doubt winters would be chilly.. especially with less arctic influence with the new sea created north of Canada. I would say maybe winters that are dry with an average of 19C/9C or something.
-NYC would be at 20N, almost definitely would be tropical.
Winnipeg might look sort of like this: San Antonio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's not really that chilly, except at night, and like irlnit said, it might be moderated by the north ocean.
now the question is anyone have any idea how we will push the Americas 20 degrees south?
According to the little research I did about every 100,000 years the north pole moves a few hundred miles... about 700 or more miles... toward Siberia on the opposite side of the planet as North America. According to Diamond from Oppenheimer Ranch project the 100,000 year cycle pole shift cycle is now.
- Ushuaia would likely be an ice-cap climate, being at 74°48'S.
- Northern-central South America would see continental climates; the landmass of South America is the largest in between 15°S and 40°S.
- Regardless, South America above 3°S would have tropical climates, though the southern locations would be cooler and the altitude required for a highland climate would decrease.
- Places like Bogotá would turn into alpine tundra or ice-cap climates.
- NYC, Washington D.C. and other places within eastern US would be tropical.
- Florida, especially Key West (which would be at 4°N), would be tropical as a whole.
- Southern Canada would be subtropical, and a small amount of Canada would be within the Tropic of Cancer (i.e. Middle Island, at 41°41'N, would be at 21°41'N). I could see a small amount of a tropical (rainforest) climate there.
- Toronto would be quite close to the tropics, at 23°44'N, and would have a subtropical climate.
- Northern Canada would be mostly hemiboreal. The new "Canadian Sea" would moderate northern Canada quite a bit.
- Alert, Nunavut would be at 62°30'N; it would probably have a subpolar oceanic climate, as it's moderated by the new "Canadian Sea".
- Greenland is in North America; Nuuk would likely be oceanic, moderated by its coastal location.
- (The abandoned place of) Ivittuut would likely be oceanic.
- Most of Greenland, due to the lower latitude and the moderation by the new sea formed, would be able to grow forest. - The northernmost undisputed land on Earth, which is in Greenland, would be at 63°39'45"N; it'd probably have a subpolar oceanic climate.
Fascinating topic, too many to list in one comment but I think humid continental/subarctic borderline Moosonee would have a climate akin to that of Pensacola because James Bay shifted 20 degrees south would turn subtropical instead of subarctic.
That applies to much of the Hudson Bay Lowlands and similar, they'd turn from subarctic muskeg into subtropical muskeg pretty much identical the Southeast US 20 degrees to the south and on the same latitude, subarctic Fort Albany would have a climate rather like that of subtropical Albany around 20 degrees to the south.
Annoyingly the subarctic and subtropical Fort Smith are not 20 degrees apart in latitude like I hoped, the subarctic Fort Smith would be shifted down to 40N and would probably be a few degrees C from being a subtropical climate.
