Cooler summer, warmer winter. Just slightly less bipolar than the rest of CT weather. Also, snow melts a lot faster due to the salt air. Amazing sunsets become kinda commonplace. It is always windy!!!! 95 and Rt 1 in "the season" (late May through mid September) are fucking miserable; you learn to shop / bank / etc. mid-week to avoid traveling on the weekends. Also, in some beach towns, lots of restaurants, shops, even your own neighbors are only around for "the season," and fall through early spring it can feel like a bit of a ghost town.

I’ve lived along the shore all of my life and have never ever heard that before. It’s possible, I suppose, although I don’t know about “a lot faster”. So far I’ve found nothing at all about it online.
