Much of New York City is either on the ocean or very close. A significant portion of Queens and Staten Island is on the Atlantic Ocean; Manhattan Island is surrounded by water and only about a half mile from the open ocean; and large parts of Brookyln are bounded by Sheepshead Bay, which is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean.

Explain why large bodies of water cause local winds to shift direction from day to night?
During the day the land gets is heated fast, but the water takes a while to heat up. At night, water cools down right away, as does land, land absorbs heat faster than water and can also gets cooler faster.
Why do the great plains have bitter winters and hot summers?
The great plains are far away from any body of water that can serve as a heat sink to moderate temperatures. Areas near the oceans or large lakes have their temperatures moderated because the water can soak up some of the heat to keep temperatures down - evaporating some of the water to absorb heat without heating up. In the winter, large bodies of water can serve as heat reservoirs that can release energy back into the air as it cools down. Large bodies of water can also serve as a source of water vapor that can form into clouds over the land and thus shield it from the heat of the sun when it is hot and hold in warmth at night when it is cold. The great plains don't have this feature.
