I always say I love NJ because:
-the beach is only an hour away
-it snows
-the city is nearby if i ever decide I want to go
-no volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes..all those scary things I don't like
But in reality..it's way too cold for me here. I'd be happier if it was summer all the time.
the cold weather is my biggest problem with NY too...other then that...i've learned to love it
