For reference, Niagara Falls is at roughly the same latitude as Barcelona and Milan. Vääksy, Finland, is approximately 1,250 miles (2k km) north of there, slightly north of Anchorage, Alaska.

Latitude is a poor point of comparison here, North America tends to be substantially colder than Europe at the same latitude.

Or concretely Niagara Falls goes from an average low of -6.44 C in February to 21.0 C in July. Barcelona an average low of 4 C in January to 20.2 C in August (according to the internet).

But yes, it's warmer than Finland, just cold enough to see something of a freeze that cycle.
