The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread

[EWG]

I'll play stupid. Once melted, wouldn't it be a great time to just sprinkle a little Driveway Heat on there and grind it in with your foot. Should require a lot less than 50lbs.

Well, sure, but that's still a two part process. First remove the snow, then put on the rock salt / chemical melt. Might as well shovel at that point.

If you are just clearing ice, which was the original suggestion, then if you have to put down driveway heat in either case, just skip the flamethrower and drop the snowmelt chemicals. Also, it is probably worth mentioning that the chemical stuff only works down to like -20 degrees. That limit comes into play in the upstates.

I”d bet a flamethrower would end up being way more useful than any of us realize. I mean I went my whole life without a sawzall until I got one when I bought a home and now I use it constantly.

How many pieces is your home in now?

And the flamethrower can torch the neighbors shrubbery.

Made some Spiedies the other night. Used my Foodsaver to marinate. They were really good, but not as good as letting them marinate for days.

Maybe we should get a shared TGR one and see what happens.

Exactly. This sounds like some kind of obsessive condition. I'm concerned. Stay away from your UC stash.

This is the TR I'm here for. Talk us through it .... slowly.

You know- the normal number

[gravitylover]

I don't know the layout of the driveway or anything really about the situation, however, I'd be constantly wracking my brain for a plausible "oops, so sorry" scenario.

Yeah there have been a few of those over the last 25 years. There are going to be a few more this year. I'm thinking I should dump a bunch of old gas by the two trees as the next big snowstorm starts so the odor gets buried.

I tried to get a new NY beer today but failed. Someone needs to put up a NYBOD.

mmmmm…. spiedies.

Recipe is pretty simple. Buy this:


Cube 3 lbs of chicken.

Put chicken and marinade in a bag for 2 days minimum.

Skewer and grill.

Take Spiedies off skewer with Italian Bread or sub roll.

Profit.

You’d be amazed at what you can pick up at an Upstates rez gas station.

Is Spedie sauce a NY Beverage?

Draft beer in a growler, for example.

Looks super tasty. Only available at the site in Hammondsport?

That is actually what I used, because it is what I brought home from the Wegmans in Erie this past summer. The Lupos is the OG though.
I guess I will have to do a blind taste test.

Looks like Lupos is the OG, but Salamida brought it to the masses.

As far as I know, yes.
