A change in the amount of polar ice will reflect more sunlight toward the Eastern Seaboard.

A change in the amount of polar ice will make cold water stay at the poles, warming up the land.

A change in the amount of polar ice will pull heat from the Eastern Seaboard.

Answer 1

A change in the amount of polar ice will alter how ocean currents move.

This answer reflects the scientific consensus that melting polar ice can impact ocean currents, which in turn can influence weather patterns, including milder winters on the Eastern Seaboard.
