Though if it has to get cold, I'll take our winter over yours. Temps plummet from 0°c down to -18°c (0°f) which is awful, but that also means very little liquid precipitation which is nice. Also Iowa is sort of arid in the winter, so we don't really get much snow either.
I'll take the cooler side, being the same latitude and climate as you.
Can always put on more layers and get comfy. When it is 40C out and 90% humidity and 25C dewpoint....there's nothing you can do other than ride at 0500 before dawn before the weather gets evil.
