The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread
Why the hell would you trust them? They literally start drinking when they walk into work in the morning.
Which I guess makes them like 40% of the adult upstate population.
If you’ve spent winters upstate you’ve been here done that. I feel for you. You can almost drink the relief when you come out the other side.
I feel like nowhere else in the country really understand what a white out is. I’ve been driving 55 in storms that hit instantly and you literally can’t see 5’. That’s a damn whiteout. It’s terrifying.
Marketing baby. They were trying to distinguish it from UC and make it feel more upscale. Apparently a lake in the woods an hour north does that. Also, see the point about Southern Tier and drinking.
You, sir, are doing something in your life very, very right.

Wow, that’s horrific. I’m glad my fears have been confirmed.
I agree with your rationale, but I fear this is a double-edged sword.

Where'd you go to school?
So, while I was rolling through the Southern Tier last night, from I 390 to the eastern end, I got to thinkin'. Yup there was plenty of time to do that with all the traffic and such Before it got too dark to see I just appreciated the emptiness that is the ST and then the deep thoughts set in.
Is it Rt 17 or is it I86?
WTF is with the speed limit constantly changing? Fkn pita having to pay so much attention to something so trivial.
Who thought it was a good idea to have driveways and intersections randomly set along a hilly, twisty section of Interstate(?)?
Why aren't there more Wazers out here so the crowd sourced info about the proliferation of smiling NYS Troopers is more accurate?
Why are all the breweries along the way closed on Tuesday?

As it is hunting season, I came up with a few other Upstate definitions.
If the local bar has a “Welcome Hunters” banner outside, usually with a Busch or Keystone logo, you are Upstate.
If the high school has a significant amount of sick kids on shotgun opener, you are Upstate.
If you can hang a deer from your garage without pissing off your neighbors, you are Upstate.

All good questions. I've also wondered why there's next to no consistent cell coverage along an "Interstate" like I-86/Rt17 or what that angry looking old man is doing standing on his front porch every time I drive by despite it being balls cold and grey out. Always outside. Leering at the highway traffic, as if he's angry they put the road directly in front of his house. Too close in fact.
I still call it The Jake.

Its "Rte 17 future I86" where its not I86 already, due to Rte 17 having all those "driveways and Intersections" - conversion to I86 requires the removal of said driveways and intersections ala Roscoe area and Binghamton, where there are proper Interstate merges for off and on ramps, as well as proper roadways to meet federal requirements.

I looked at 2 places we stopped and they only had singles. They were high class joints! I'll be back up that way next week and I'll go to Utica if I have to

I'd estimate a volume of 12 UC for most domestically supplied console fridges ; capacities, always the first place you look in the manual.

Fixed the first one for you.
As for the 2nd one- NYS does it wrong, probably because of the lower amount of hunters in NYC area and all. Pennsylvania handles this by just having a state wide holiday for the first day of Deer Riffle Hunting season. Schools closed the 1st Monday after Thanksgiving.
