I lived in Jacksonville, Fl for 35 years and tan/brown was the normal color in the winter. Green is a non-color in the winter.
Where did you live in NJ? You must have had some unusual climate.
Where I live in New York State the grass stays mostly green, just like in Boston.
We sometimes get a little snow in November but not usually. The real snow season doesn't hit until December. Then the snow sometimes stays until spring but often we have a January thaw, such as this year. My yard is pretty much clear of snow right now and yes, the grass is green. It's very cold but since the thaw we've had very little snow.
In south Alabama where I grew up the grass also went dormant in the winter. As you say, green was a non-color.
