Europe has the benefit of the jet-stream.

I think you mean Gulf Stream.

England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.

You are correct.
Their winter weather is light jacket for you and sweater for me.

This winter, both (likely). A Jet Stream dip into our Midwest & Northern Plains usually bumps warmer air into much of Europe.
