Answer 1

You would expect that St. Paul will be colder in the winter.

This is because St. Paul, being landlocked, tends to experience more extreme temperatures, having colder winters and hotter summers compared to Salem, which has a more moderate climate influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The ocean helps to regulate temperatures, leading to milder winter conditions in Salem.
