Solution
The eastern coasts of the USA are comparatively cold because they are influenced by the cold Labrador Current, which flows southward from the Arctic Ocean along the coast. This cold ocean current lowers the temperature of the coastal regions, making the climate cooler than expected for those latitudes.
