Winds in winter would be dominated by Easterlies as was the case during the
"Little Ice Age".
Summers may actually be hotter if the Gulf Stream was to switch off.

Just imagine, SNOW in winter and hot sun in summer ( can't wait ).

The idea that without the Gulf Stream we'd be as cold as Labrador is a
bit of a jump. We'd obviously be colder, but not necessarily as cold as
Labrador even though we are at the same latitude. Labrador has a cold
current offshore whereas even without the Gulf Stream we might not. Also
Labrador has the ocean to the east whereas we have it to the west.
Assuming that the prevailing wind at our latitude remains from a
westerly quarter (which I agree is a big assumption) then that will make
a major difference.
