So I went out to see customers today. Metrics Schmetrics. Based on my neighbors’ terrified reaction to the snowfall, I’m going to make a call regarding Rockland & Westchester. I think most of you guys would agree with this anyway. Not upstate. I’ve never seen such a bunch of scaredy cat drivers.

I grew up on the southern shores of Lake Erie, have lived in the Mitten surrounded by Great Lakes and sailed all of them; to this day you would not believe the amount of stupid comments you’ll hear locals and visitors alike say about them.
No shit:
salt water/fresh water
What’s on the other side (Erie, Huron, Ontario)? Canada.
No, really, what state is that, Canada is above us.
Are there whales/seals/sharks in there?
Wait, that huge body of water can freeze? How?
Can you swim across it?
There were battles between warships out there? Bullshit.
If it’s a lake, why can’t I see across it?I still call it The Jake.

This is why this thread exists. You just can't get that kind of beta anywhere else.
I'm partial to this battle: Battle of Lake Erie - War of 1812
And his beer:I still call it The Jake.

All those times driving through Whitehall on the way to Kmart and I couldn't get over that sign telling me it was the birthplace of the navy.

As with so many stories dealing with Upstate NY, this is almost accurate.

If you wanted to skip the lift line and didn't mind earning your turns, Cobbs Hill had 100' vert of packed pow. Under the right conditions you could ride the runout all the way the the old POW buildings by Lake Riley.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Lol
Thread drift (again) - I've had non stop snow for 21 hours now and it's supposed to drop a few more inches before the day is over. It hasn't added up to squat, about 4.5" but I had every type of frozen precip other than convective types (ie: hail) and some NCP as well. Really long duration storms are a rarity in my sub-Upstate region so I figured since there's a connection I should mention it. It's back to big flakes now so it will start to accumulate again.
