I love UPSTATE New York...


well I didn't really come up with this but I found it amusing and believe anyone from upstate NY or has lived there will enjoy this and if you aren't in NY at this moment...Your missing out. ;-)
Upstate New York
1. If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Upstate New York.

2. If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Saranac Lake is the coldest spot in the nation, and Syracuse gets more snow than any other major city in the US.

3.you might live in Upstate NY If your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through May.

4. If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's finally here'you might live near Oswego in Upstate New York .

5. If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year becuase you are bundled up, you might live in Upstate NY.

6. You might live in Upstate NY, If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead.

7. you might live in Upstate New York If you have worn shorts and a parka on the same day.

8. you might live in Upstate New York If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number.

9. YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE UPSTATE NEW YORKER WHEN: "Vacation" means going South past Syracuse for the weekend and You measure distance in hours.

10.You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

11.You often switch from "heat" to"A/C" in the same day and back again.

12. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.

13. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.

14.You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

15.Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.

16. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.

17.You can identify a southern or eastern accent.

18.You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

19. why buy a four-wheeler? you only get use if for about three months so that's why you have a snowmobile.

20.You find 10 degrees "a little chilly." and 55 is shorts weather.
