People are often surprised by how far south the United States is compared to Europe. Chicago is on the same latitude as Rome. North Dakota is parallel to the wine growing region of Bordeaux in France. It seems like people consider the US/Europe to be parallel, and South America/Africa parallel.
This is at least partially due to different weather- the Gulf Stream makes Europe much warmer than parts of North America at similar latitudes.
Edit: Read down, this has already been mentioned.
