For the same reason that it’s hotter at 4 pm while the sun is directly overhead at noon.

The earth continues to radiat heat even after ther solstice until the heat from the sun becomes greater than the heat lost through radiation - generally in February or March.

Seasonal lag and the fact that water cools slower than land. It takes a while for the water around the continent (that affects our air masses) to cool enough to allow temperature to cool over land.
That shite's wild.

Same reason the summer solstice is in June and it’s hotter than hell in August.

It's the same way in Western PA.
