Try a coastal VA or NC city for comparison, instead of NYC.
Such locations are clearly mainstream subtropical. The point was to assess two locations that live on the fringes of the zone as a means to elucidating the relative merits and flaws of the current subtropical definition.
You don't really need to have palm tree-lined parks and streets in order to be subtropical. I agree NYC is not a good example of a "typical" subtropical climate though, I would say somewhere in the Deep South is a better one.

Oh I agree. But in my view New York is not at all subtropical. Considering it has an average of 65cm (26 inches) of snow.

The high-ish snowfall average in NYC can be attributed more to the fact that it's susceptible to occasional huge storms though rather than it being a winter dominated by cold and snow. I find the temps there slightly too mild to be a humid continental climate, I find Providence, RI/Boston, MA to be the mild end of humid continental.

I have to disagree.
Way back there was a large thread on rather Washington D.C was subtropical. A good chunk but not all of the responses said no. New York City has colder winters and more snow than Washington.
