Not too much different, New York/Jersey is a little warmer and usually gets less snow. I guess some players just don't adapt to the cold very well.

That 2007 NYJ game takes the cake, though. If anyone else on this board was at that game - remember it? It had snowed maybe 5 or 6 inches the afternoon and into the night before the game, then the morning of the game it turned to a "wintry mix", then into flat out rain a few hours before kickoff. The parking lots were just a mess, filled with giant puddles of slush, rain-filled tire tracks, and there was no plowing done in the stadium lots across route 1.
IIRC, it rained the ENTIRE game - cold, cold rain...I remember seeing that the temp was 32 or below during the game, and I remember saying to myself - "this should be snow!", but it wasn't. I had my full Gorton's Fisherman rain suit on and I still got f#cking soaked, and the clothes I had on underneath the rain suit actually froze.
That was quite the game - not really complaining, just trying to give those folks that might live outside of the area and do not get a chance to see games at Gillette a little glimpse into what it's like for a fan in the unpredictable New England weather on game day!!!!
I was at the Pitt game in 08 and it was terrible (and not just the weather).
The Jets game sounds worse though.

I grew up in Southern Connecticut and went to school in Boston.
Boston is colder for 2 reasons. It's 10 degrees colder, AND it's a helluva lot windier.
Not sure what that means for Foxboro however, but I would say there's a significant difference in the climate. When NYC has 40 degree days in winter (it happens quite a lot) it's 30 in Boston.
Re: Early Weather Forecast for Jet Game: Cold, Clear
well sanchez is from Cali and is used to playing in warmer climate, but don' t forget that it was pretty cold when the jets played the bengals at the meadowlands last year. i can't remember if the jets relied heavily on their run game in that game or not.
regardless of the weather, i expect the offensive game plan for the jets to be simple:try to pound the rock with Green and LT (like the browns did) and if that doesn't work they'll go to the air more. they are going to try to keep brady off the field as much as possible, so the D has to step up.
