Shitty weather.
That being said, if it were me personally, the lack of Popeye's chicken sandys would certainly be a heavy burden to bear.

I have yet to try the Popeye's sandwich out of a healthy fear of being stabbed in line, however I will say that if you are using fast food establishments as a barometer for the overall quality of life of an area I would probably put the scale somewhere along these lines:
[Likelihood of being a casual murder victim] <--- White Castle --->
<---Popeyes --->
<---Cookout --->
<---Dunkins --->
<---Krystal --->
<---Hardees --->
<---Arbys/Carls Jr --->
<---Taco Bell --->
<---Burger King --->
<---McDonalds --->
<---Wendys --->
<---Chipotle --->
<---Starbucks --->
<---Chick Fil A ---> [Likelihood of residents having a college degree]I still call it The Jake.

Granted I'm particular about when I go but that far southwestern corner of NY state is really pretty when the weather is good and my impressions of the area and people are different than the sentiment here. The skiing out that way is great but with short verts, the backcountry is supposedly pretty amazing from what I hear from people on the ground and the mountain biking is off the charts good and there's lots of it. I need to get out there when the snow is right and see what it's all about. That ride from Buffalo to Ellicotville is pretty amazing, you go from lake level at about 200 feet above sea level to 2k in just a few minutes. I can just picture what it's like when the lake opens up for business and it's thumping 10"/hr there. The brewery there is really good too.

Ellicottville and HV are real gems and the people in town are great. Two years ago I did a day trip up when I was vising family for the holidays in NE Ohio. I left at 4am and it was hammering 10" an hour. By the time I made it to the bridge over Chataqua I hand't seen another plow or car for two hours and it was now dumping 12"+ according to the guy on the radio. Come to find out the highway had been shut down and I just didn't see it or they didn't see me. Great thing was, despite it being a day after Christmas, the place was empty because no one could get in so me and about 100 other people got to enjoy some of the deepest snow I've ever seen. The lake effect machine didn't let up until about 7pm either. It was outstanding.
I still don't think some of those people in the small left-behind towns around there shared my enthusiasm for the season.I still call it The Jake.

They put a Popeyes in local a couple years ago. I actually like the chicken and would get it for my folks from time to time. Never had any sammitch there.
They had really good prices at first but then started raising the prices and lowering the count so I stopped going a while back. Also liked the spicy gravy they have on the mashed taters. Oh well.
In other news I discovered a new scoobie snack. Thick sliced mozz cheese covered in hemp hearts.watch out for snakes

Or we can move it to the Ogden scale if that would provide more clarity.

Oh snap, Popeyes is really gunning for White Castle’s spot at the top of the mountain.

Solid list. I think churches chicken is close to interchangeable to popeyes(at least bitd chicago). Me and a friend were getting white castle at like 2am or so in merrievllie, IN (high AF of course) when we were 16. Also only white kids in the place and shit starts getting heated between some other group so we gtfo as quick as possible and hear pop pop pop. Think 4 people shot and one dead. Damn I love me a sack of 20 though.

Damn. Glad you GTFO.
That scene is basically interchangeable inside any Whities after 2am.
White Castle corporate is a client of my old firm and at least once a month they’d send over a few Crave Cases and several boxes of frozen Whities.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t grab a few to eat on the toilet when they’re hot n fresh.I still call it The Jake.

Number of cloudy days, US cities.
I cut off the top. First column that says “year” is actually days per year. “Days” column is percent of days.
The stuff on the bottom refers to partial cloudy days. Sorry I should have cut that off.Last edited by beece; 11-13-2019 at 10:19 PM.

To me Western NY and the Southern Tier (along the PA border) are upstate but they not Upstate NY. Upstate is north of a line between Albany and Syracuse the way I've always seen it. Lots of woods, snows a lot, grey all the time. Scarcity of chicken sandwiches but lots of pizza joints and dive bars. It's sort of like a poorer Vermont with angrier people.
