The amount of incident sunlight (angle, intensity and duration).

Explanation:

New England is in one of the “temperate zones” of the Earth's latitudes. These are the regions between the polar and tropical areas of the planet.

The “seasons” happen here because the tilt of the earth varies the angle and time of exposure to the sun at different parts of its orbit around the sun. The range itself is just a function of the relative sunlight and dark periods and the amount of sunlight received during a day.
