You must be kinda wimpy living in that mild NYC,LOL
First off, that wiki data for Toronto is for a downtown neighborhood. Very odd and to me strikes of some Toronto folks trying to pass the city off as warmer than it is for the whole area. I compare airport to airport, anything else is not apples to apples. Lester Pearson Airport is not that far from downtown Toronto, yet much colder cause it doesn't include a heat island as much as downtown Toronto.
I couldn't handle a Toronto winter either, and I'm in Philadelphia.
40F/25.5F vs 28.2/13.1F for avg temps in January is a pretty big difference to me. Toronto has 57 ice days a year, compared to 15 here. 5 days a year in Toronto with a min temp below -4F, compared to .3 day a year with a min temp less than 0F here. 45 inches of snowfall in Toronto compared to 23 inches here. No thanks. I've been there in January before and it felt much colder than Philly. And snow was piled everywhere compared to nothing in Philly. Their snow hangs around much longer. Snow here comes and goes very quickly.
Do you think a person from Nice would think London cold in winter? Well, the differences between London and Nice are less than the diff between Philly and Toronto.
Canada has no city with a climate I would prefer to any in the Mid-Atlantic US.
Toronto. I hate Tropical climates with no discernible seasons.
