It's just the Atlantic Ocean/Gulf Stream effect. Boston is a little closer certainly but still not as cold.....and then Toronto would be more comparable.
Yeah, Boston rarely gets below 0 F though. But it gets a lot more snow.

Anyway, highrises are great for winter. Central heating (usually) and someone else shovels the snow.
