The temperatures in Europe and parts of eastern North America would be similar to global temperatures 20,000 years ago.

Without the vast heat that these ocean currents deliver--comparable to the power generation of a million nuclear power plants--Europe's average temperature would likely drop 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F), and parts of eastern North America would be chilled somewhat less. Such a dip in temperature would be similar to global average temperatures toward the end of the last ice age roughly 20,000 years ago.

Europe and eastern North America. As the title of NASA article states.
