Any 2009 regionals near the Ocean?

Hey, we're not that bad in New England.

In the winter, the ocean around New England usually approaches pretty close to the non-saline freezing point of water, with temperatures around 33F-38F degrees. In some of the inlets and bays, the temperature (and salinity) are much lower - hence the need for Coast Guard ice breakers in places like Boston Harbor after a cold spell.

In the summer, the water temperatures get up to 65F-70F; warm enough to go for a refreshing swim.
