Why does the west coast have different temperatures than the east coast?

That would be due to the significantly different ocean temperatures on each coast. The east coast is framed by the Atlantic Ocean which is cold because the currents go through the north and south pole and carry cold water towards the equator. The west coat is framed by the Pacific Ocean which is powered by warmer ocean currents that travel from the equator towards the poles.

Is the west coast warmer than the east coast?
The west coast is milder than the east coast (warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer) because of the California Current that starts from Alaska and runs down the west coast of North America. Gyres and winds that blow from west to east cause this current to happen. Because of this, the ocean moderates temperatures on land (since water has a high specific heat), which is why the west coast never snows in winter and rarely gets above 80 degrees in summer.
