W) Yes, because they are geographically close and the Westerlies drive storm systems across the U.S. towards the East

X) Yes, because airmasses hitting New England are always impacted by their proximity to the ocean and, therefore, pick up moisture that will be dumped as snow

Z) No, because weather in the U.S. is driven by the Westerlies which push storm systems from east to west across the continent
