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.

Yeah, I've noticed that! Stockholm in southern Sweden is mistakenly perceived as having similar conditions as NY while it's on the 59th northern parallell, meaning Alaska conditions. At this latitude the Sun is visible for 18 hours, 30 minutes during the summer solstice and 6 hours, 11 minutes during the winter solstice. Further up it gets much more extreme. :)
