well ,it's not THAT sunny in Toronto - and i'm guessing the sun (which will be pretty low anyway ) will be shining on the colder days .
so at say -4 and sunny i would say would look very nice with a blue sky and snow on the ground ,but any warmth ? I highly doubt it .
Usually i can feel the sun at 6c - besides anyway ,in those ridiculous below zero temps you would be covered from head to foot
Point is, it would feel a lot different at -4 C and sunny than at -4 C with overcast skies. Plus, Toronto's winter sun angle is a good deal stronger than the UK's. I don't think anyone is arguing it would feel warm in the sun, just warmer than it would be if it were cloudy.
Toronto's sun angle is actually fine, it's pretty much similar to where I live now.
Yup, 30F with bright sunshine actually feels mild after a week of negative (celsius) highs. I actually remember walking many times during sunny -10c afternoons in february and it was cold but ok with appropriate clothing.
The harsher moments are when the wind blows from the west, it can be super strong.
Overall, it is cold, sometimes very cold, but with appropriate clothing it is ok. I still find it better than our damp overcast 4c days, unless we're reaching the extreme conditions depicted above.
Of course by late february I feel much warmer in Bologna, whereas Toronto can feel wintry well until April. The main issue with those climates is the late to the party Spring.

Yes, I agree 100%.
Also, Toronto does exhibit a lot of seasonal lag. March 1 is only about 3 C warmer on average than the coldest part of winter, it seems like late February there is still high winter. Of course the higher sun angle in late February would maybe cancel some of that.
Toronto would clearly feel colder, look at the lows!
Ooh scary
Guess those average winter lows are scary to someone from Tallahassee, Florida,
though you have the record low temp for Florida....-19C....cold for 30N
Anyway....lets go over the data...
STOCKHOLM
Dec ...avg high 1.7....avg low -2.3 ....record high 13C...record low -23C ....avg sun hrs 33
Jan....avg high 0.5....avg low -3.7 ....record high 10C..record low -32...avg sun hrs 40
Feb ...avg high 0.6 ...avg low -3.9....record high 12C ....re ord low -30C.....avg sun hrs 72
TORONTO
Dec ....avg high 2.1...avg low -3.1 ....record high 20C...record low -30C ....avg sun hrs 78
Jan.....avg high -0.7...avg low -6.7....record high 16C ....record low -33C....avg sun hrs 86
Feb ....avg high 0.4 ...avg low -5.6 ...record high 19C .....record low -32C ...avg sun hrs 111
Conclusion....The average temps imo are not that much different, slight edge to Stockholm,
however Toronto is almost 16 degrees farther south, longer winter days, more sunshine.
Also Toronto can and does get some "warmer" winter days ...look at record highs.
The OP is wanting to know which city "feels" warmer..not is warmer,
for me it is Toronto...not by much though, they are similar, however
I would much prefer an average Toronto winter than an average Stockholm winter.
Dec ....avg high 2.1...avg low -3.1 ....record high 20C...record low -30C ....avg sun hrs 78

r.
I assume the Annex repesents TO's urban heat island as opposed to Pearson right? Probably similar to say how Midway or UofC has a greater UHI than ORD.
