I've lived in both cities, and Chicago is definitely colder in the winter than New York, but the rest of the seasons are pretty much similar. So yea, New York has better weather just because of the winter.

I found Chicago to be colder. Not by much but never the less colder.

I agree with you. And as I stated earlier in this thread, Chicago winters are cold but they really aren't any worse than NYC's (in my experience). If you can handle one, you can deal with the other.
The "brutality" of Chicago's weather, including Lake Michigan's effects (which has more of a modulating influence anyway), is grossly over-exaggerated on this forum. The way some people speak of Chicago's winters you would think they are talking about upstate NY, or worse, Minnesota weather.
