To know this, you need to understand Heat Capacity. It is the amount of energy needed to increase temperatures. Water has a high heat capacity. Therefore, it needs a lot of energy to rise temperatures, and it also needs to lose a lot of energy to become cold. So overall, the temperature of water remains moderate (has a high homeostatis- ability to maintain a condition). Remember, it has to be cold to snow! So the weather in coastal communities is not cold enough to snow because it is right next to the moderate temperature of the ocean. I just learned about it in science class.
