Wintry weather is pretty much a guarantee too. NYC has never had a snowless year, never had a freezeless year, even in a record warm year you can still have plenty of cold in the winter

Well everyone has their own definition, but I consider winter to be reliably cold and snowy. We usually don't have long lasting periods of snow and sub-freezing temperatures while even during a cool summer we're pretty much guaranteed to be at least 80 degrees most of the time.

A record warm winter here is pretty normal for our latitude. Even when we are record warm we are about the same as Madrid. In an ideal world that's what New York's climate would be like; Madrid

FFS, no it's not "normal for the latitude". You do realize there's places that are much colder in winter at your latitude right? Again, why do you always compare the east coast of a continent to the west coast???


NYC is probably about average for its latitude. Western Europe is really warm for its latitude, hardly "normal for the latitude". It would be like calling Vladivostok "normal" too.

Maybe you just to move south lol. Western PA/NY weather is great IMO. Seems like DC and south would fit your tastes better.

There are not many places colder than New York at our latitude. Outside of North America, only East Asia offers colder winters at 40N. Even Central Asia, which is directly to the south of Siberia with nothing to block the arctic blasts from Russia, even that same Central Asia still has winter highs equal to us (and with warmer springs to boot). Southern Russia, Ukraine, Balkans, all warmer than us. Argentina at 40S, significantly warmer than us. All it really leaves is East Asia

Lol North Carolina seems like it has a nice climate, but at this moment I'm thinking of moving to the other America, the one that has Patagonia, the Amazon, and the Andes

You're focusing on winter and ignoring the other three seasons. Why not focus on annual mean temp?

Spring is even worse. In Spring the Midwest and the Great Plains catch up and surpass us, while even many parts in China that are significantly colder than us in the winter begin to warm up. In April-May, literally only the Korean peninsula and coastal Liaodong peninsula are warmer than us

At least with global warming your climate might resemble the humid subtropical climate of the southeastern United States, maybe your climate will even resemble Florida
