What does this mean
The severity of the winter is modified by our proximity to the sea.
What does that mean?
Top answer
Presumably it means that, because we are near the sea, the winter is not as severe (as it is inland). However, I wonder whether "modified" is actually a mistake for "moderated".

anonymousWhat does that mean?
Places with maritime climates have much milder winters than places with continental climates.
The sea never freezes, so it has a warming effect on the air.
