One thing that surprises a lot of people is that New York City (the example show by OP) is actually farther south than Rome, Italy. The majority of the US population lives south of New York City, and the majority of Europe lives north of Rome. To a lot of people in the US, New York City is considered pretty far north and would thus consider the winter months to not have much daylight compared to what they’re used to.
