<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Hello Andy,</P>
<P>&nbsp; The short answer is the proximity of the ocean, which retains heat much better than the land, and results in the delay of the coldest weather in the fall (and the arrival of warmer weather in the spring) in areas with coastal climates.</P>
<P>&nbsp; Likely someone will be able to give you a more complete answer and perhaps some additional factors.<BR><BR>Wayne Neily <BR>Tremont, Nova Scotia <BR><BR><BR>"In nature's infinite book of secrecy <BR>A little I can read." - William Shakespeare, 1607. <BR><BR><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: tahoma,sans-serif">
