Not the New Jersey You Think You Know

You are here: Home / North America / USA / New Jersey / Not the New Jersey You Think You Know

//  by Lisa 2 Comments

Wintertime in New Jersey. This year, there seemed to be a crazy amount of snow. But how would I know? It’s not like I’ve spent any winters in New Jersey for twenty years and I’ve been out of the country for three years. So who am I to talk? But, either way, there seemed to be a lot of frickin’ snow.  And it was beautiful.

Despite what many think they know about New Jersey (and believe me, I have heard many a wrong assumption), it has very rural and bucolic areas. I grew up in Randolph, a somewhat standard American suburb, but still with a good share of farmland and forest land as well. So it was no surprise to see this on our front lawn during the recent two-foot snowfall.

    Always was nice to watch the snow fall in north Jersey while enjoying some hot chocolate. Even better that I could watch it online from the warmth of Southeast Asia this year.
