Answer 1

New York would get colder, but not really by much. The average January high temperature in New York is 43F which is the same as Washington. However the average January low temperature in New York is 27F compared to 29F in Washington.

On a regular day, NYC is always a few degrees colder than Washington DC, however as a tourist in winter - NY is still a better place to visit than Washington DC.

Answer 3

New York has cities and country living and since snow is a normal part of life in both areas, they are more prepared for snow removal and road conditions than southern states.
