Curious. Do you guys think NYC winters are more like Chicago or DC? Scrap Philadelphia cause it becomes too easy as both winter climates of Philly and NYC are virtually identical.

NYC winters are definitely Mid Atlantic in nature, as are Washington's.

Definitely DC, NYC is sunnier, slightly colder and more snow. Chicago is quite a bit different, colder, longer, greyer, more and more frequent smaller snowfalls.

I feel that NYC, DC and Philly are all similar with about a 2 degree difference in each. Often if it's 40 in DC, it'll be 38 in Philly and 36 in NYC.

NYC is colder in the winter compared to DC, and it is noticeable if you move from one place to the other. Never been to Chicago, but I know it's much colder than both.

Neither. NYC gets colder than DC and gets more snow. However, NYC is no Chicago when it comes to winter. Chicago gets far colder and for longer. I would compare NYC winters more to Philadelphia winters.

Well, NYC is kind of in the middle of both. Chicago's are more severe while DC's are a little more mild. But winters here (I say here because I am 20 miles from Manhattan and like 7 from Staten Island) are definitely more similar to DC's than Chicago's.
