Melissa Gorga Shows What a Snowy Sunday Looks Like in Her New Jersey Backyard-quang

The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom of three had a very cozy weekend.

Melissa Gorga's backyard in her New Jersey house really looks like a winter wonderland. The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom of three has lived in the Franklin Lakes house with her husband, Joe Gorga, and their kids since 2022, and it just keeps getting cozier. Although snow in New Jersey is not rare, it's such a fun sight to see. And Melissa was so excited to show off her snow-covered backyard over the weekend when she woke up to the fluffy white powder covering the spacious backyard.

Melissa took to her Instagram Story recently, where she posted a photo of the backyard taken from the inside of her home. In the photo, Melissa and Joe's pool can be seen completely covered in snow. The trees surrounding the pool were also covered in snow and ice, truly making it a magical experience.

"Good morning," she wrote over the photo.

But, Melissa did not have to be out in the cold for too long. She then returned to the inside of her home and made herself a delicious-looking cup of coffee, complete with some creamer, which she poured into her mug in the photo. "Why does coffee in a clear mug hit different?!" Melissa asked her Instagram followers.

But when it isn't snowing, Melissa's backyard is equally as dreamy. In a tour of her home, as seen in the video above, Melissa showed off the "awesome feature" in her kitchen — a large sliding glass door that leads directly to the back patio, overlooking the backyard. The patio is complete with midcentury-style black chairs, surrounding a circular dining table, perfect for entertaining. Although the patio is close to the kitchen, they also have an outdoor kitchen area, including a grill and a smoker, perfect for making food for guests.

Melissa and Joe also have a pool surrounded by daybeds and deck chairs. "I really wanted the backyard to feel like a resort," Melissa explained in the video above. "So I wanted the cabanas. I wanted lots of lounge chairs. We also did lots of fireplaces that you can kind of sit around. Hearing the waterfalls that is my favorite thing. It makes everything feel so peaceful and tranquil."
