Ironically I was born in an almost IDENTICAL climate to where I live now!
Born in Chicago and live in Hartford, CT. Both have average annual temps within 1 deg of each other, both get roughly the same amount of snow, both are almost exactly at the same latitude and both are in almost the exact same spot within their timezone (15 deg longitude apart).
Not only that, but they are both within 100 hrs of each other in terms of annual sunshine!

do you notice subtle differences (seasonality, more extremes, precipitation differences)? I've been curious how different the Northeast is from the Midwest climate-wise.
Atlantic Canada is pretty sparsley populated, but Moncton is one of the larger cities with a metro a bit over 100,000 people and one of the fastest growing cities in Canada.
To bad we couldn't switch places in the winter. Thought Northern Ireland is still too cold in the winter. I prefer the winter days to be between 10°C and 15°C
Yes, well east coast canada is pretty close to here (1800miles) and I find it fascinating the difference in temperatures. Sometimes I think that the temperature gradient causes the storms that we get in the winter.
It is often -20c over there in Newfoundland and like 8c here. When you look at the sea temperatures there is a big steep jump in temp about 35w. Its like 2c at 35w and then at 30w its like 8c.
Its probably biggest at the North American shelf. BUT, its still pretty cold halfway across the atlantic, according to that map it is around 2c at 35w but at 15w it is 10c.
At lower latitudes (around 45N 50W), the Grand Banks of Newfoundland are know for their fog and huge fish shoals. I'm not sure about whether the places you're mentioning (round 30W) are prone to fog, as the contrast is smaller than further west.

I'm not sure, but i've been trying to find buoys to get the sea temperature.
the Closest one I can find is at 32w which gives a sea temperature of 6c.
Air temperature is 2c.
The sea temperature is 8c, so its pretty pathetic that a mid atlantic buoy has colder ocean temperatures.

Infact right now it is 8c/46f here and it is 3f in Makkovik which is right on the coast and on the exact same line of latitude as me.
Winters may be warmer but Irish summers are pitiful so I'm unsure if I would want to be living in Northern Island the whole year.
