They will probably get a lot more snow if they were on the western Atlantic side.
If they were in the western Atlantic, they would have much warmer water around them and I doubt any snow. If they are around the same longitude as Bermuda, no snow I would think with water temps around 60F in winter.
How about if there were landmasses in the empty spaces where the oceans currently are?
Make a thread on that. Much more interesting than moving continents around.
On the New Zealand question:
It depends on how it would be affected by the Gulf Stream. The high mountains would probably affect climates in other places in interesting ways.

The northern parts of New Zealand might. Look at how much snow St John's gets.
I think the premise of the entire thing was that Cape Reinga would be some way east of Bermuda, causing chillier summer temperatures since the Bermuda climate is extraordinary tropical for such a northerly location as well as being two degrees further north. Due to that I believe the climate would be more similar to Madeira in the current far north of NZ.
This is roughly what I based my guess on Invercargill from but with cooler inland blasts bringing down summer night temperatures to maybe 10, maybe 13...
Did you know about the climate of that isolated island Gordo, since you're Canadian after all?

If it were at the same longitude as Bermuda it would range from 34 N to 48 N just east of the east coast. Look at St. John's at 47 N for reference, northern New Zealand would be similar to that.

Yeah, I think except coastal areas, since it'd be a degree south and more outward the Atlantic - lesser continental effects. What a 'New Zealand' would do though is to strengthen the effects of the Newfoundland summers because of the warm continental air that would be formed on the lowlands near Christchurch and travelling upwards. St John's would maybe get a climate more similar to Nova Scotia in that case...

In my scenario Cape Reinga would be slightly closer to the Azores Islands than Bermuda. And about 2 degrees further north.
I tested this in google maps, but unfortunately for some reason I can't get my photos to show on my settings.

Yes I am aware of it, and have looked at the climate before. Too bad it's so close to Atlantic Canada. If this climate was further out in the ocean it would probably be even more interesting.
