Winters in New York are around 10 degrees warmer. The difference between New York and Binghamton in January is like the difference between New York and Memphis. I've suffered through the winters there, you didn't. Believe me when I say that they are nothing short of brutal
I don't think British people realise how big NYC state is.

Winters in Upstate NY are not brutal and there is nothing you can say that will convince me otherwise.
I'm not talking about the difference between Binghamton and New York - the point I was making is that if a place with average highs slightly below freezing in one month of the year constitutes brutal to you, then winter climates like New York must be very cold in your mind - unless there is a cut-off at some point where winters in Syracuse are brutal but winters in New York are just 'cold'. Do winters in Boston constitute 'very cold' or just 'cold'? Or Brutal?
Cleveland is another example - no month has an average high below freezing, and no month has an average low below 20F. Remove the snow and you have a winter climate essentially the same as places like Prague and Gothenburg.
Sorry, but you are just a person who is overly sensitive to the cold and/or exaggerates constantly. It's hard to take anything you say seriously, especially when you think Geneva has winters like Marseille.

You also have to look at factors like snowfall and sunshine and of course the warmth of March, since in many parts of the Northeast March is essentially a winter season. Upstate NY has the triple whammy of getting more than 4x the snow in NYC, significantly less sunshine hours (compare the sunshine hours in January in Buffalo to Boston), and to top it off, has much colder Marches than surroundoing places like Michigan or New England. It's not just the temperatures themselves, it's also the incredible snowfall, and the dreary winter cloudiness, and very cold Springs. All of these factors make Upstate NY winters arguably the harshest in the country

What about North Dakota? Minnesota? Not to mention interior Alaska.
