Why is the Atlantic coast colder than the pacific coast in the same latitude?
The water in the ocean holds heat and moves it around the world. In the Pacific Ocean, the water moves clockwise and the warm air moves north up the coast. The Atlantic current moves from the north to the south, bringing the cooler northern air along the coast. The Atlantic coasts on the east are about 20 degrees cooler than the Pacific coasts on the west. Plus, water holds heat much longer than land and the Pacific Ocean is larger than the Atlantic, so it's heat would last longer than the Atlantic Ocean's heat.
Mountains also affect the temperature. Large amounts of clouds are usually gathered near mountains. During the summer time, warm clouds and rain heats up the mountain. This heat is used up during the winter time. The east coast does not have nearly the same elevations as west coast, therefore the precipitation is usually colder.
