Yes, it's cold

But there won't be anymore sub-zero days on this trip, fortunately. 

I was happy to return to my loft in the late afternoon when the wind picked up and it was getting dark, and the icy sidewalks in the old city were often a little tricky to navigate, but overall it wasn't as bad as I'd expected.

Here's the St. Lawrence, not quite frozen solid but certainly thinking about it. And one thing we don't have in New York and definitely should are fires where you can warm your hands. They're all over the Christmas market and were much appreciated.
