Is east Asia very cold or is western North America very hot? Because I find the climate very weird and latitude.
Take for example two cities.
Vancouver, Canada. 49°N
Владивосто́к (Vladivostok), Russia. 43°N

Compare the climates. You can tell that you East Asia is much more extreme climate but is much colder. Vancouver is much further north yet it still much warmer in the winter then than Владивосто́к. Vancouver is the furthest north major city on the west coast of North America. And there are many cities in East Asia that are further south than Vancouver that have much colder winters.
List of major cities in the East Asia that are further south in Vancouver you have a much better winters.
평양 (Pyongyang). 39°N
札幌市 (Sapporo). 43°N
北京 (Beijing). 39°N
서울 (Seoul). 37°N
You see the point in trying to make. Now I know that in the northern hemisphere the eastern side of the continent tends to be much colder than the western side of the continent at the same latitude. But this is just a huge difference. I think just east Asia is really cold. All of the cities that are mentioned on this list are further south than Vancouver get all of the cities have a humid continental climate with winters having temperature is colder than 0°C. Vancouver usually just stays around freezing.
Although the west coast of North America is pretty warm. Vancouver is the furthest north major city on the West Coast of North America and is the only major city on the west coast of North America that probably ever see you snowy winters. Vancouver is quite a bit colder than Seattle and cities like Portland, San Francisco, and LA probably rarely ever never cease nope. OK sure those cities have seen snow before but not every year. There's actually never been a year that Vancouver has had no snow.
But anyway back to the point sure this is the same truth that is why the east coast of North America is much colder for its latitude in the west coast of North America and Europe but at least Europe is pretty far north that I can remain colder than east coast of North America because even know it has a warmer current it's also for the north so the climate of northern Europe similar to that of the East Coast.
And then we got cities they're similar latitude to Vancouver. That are in East Asia although they are quite far in land so I can understand why they're like -12°C in the winter compared to Vancouver is balmy 3°C in winter.
Хабаровск, Russia is at 48°N and has an average winter temperature of -19.6°C. As a daily mean temperature in January. Vancouver is at 49°N and has an average daily mean temperature in January if 3°C. Why do I think this is messed up OK I already said that the east coast of Asia is much colder for its latitude the West coast of North America. The two cities are similar latitudes but obviously Vancouver would be warmer. Vancouver is right by the water so it has a mild climate. But why is Хабаровск -19.6°C in January. Yeah I know you Stasia is freezing cold in the winter for its latitude and it's an inland location but still that's pretty freezing for that latitude even for an inland location. Or maybe just Vancouver is too warm in the winter which probably the problem.
So yeah what climates are better western North America or east Asia.
I would definitely say East Asia has better climates because the seasons are we more defined. The winters are much colder which is better in the summer there about the same but at least the summers are wetter and rainier. Although I hate the precipitation pattern East Asia. The winters are way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way way times the billion to dry and too sunny. Winters are supposed to be wet cold dark gloomy with heavy snow which is how I like them so I would pick a far north location in western North America for winters because at least the winters there a cold and very snowy. Because of the wet high precipitation. Although I do like the summers in East Asia summers I do like to be a little bit drier than winters.
The only city in East Asia that has nice winters are Sapporo because Sapporo has wet very snowy winters and that's awesome..
