Upstate New York

Jeff Foxworthy: On Upstate New York



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.

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 - you might live in Upstate New York.

If your local ice cream stand is closed from October through May
- you might live in Upstate New York.

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.

If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of
the year - you might live, bundled up, in Upstate New York.

If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and
they don't work there -you might live in Upstate New York.

If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of
his forehead - you might live in Upstate New York.

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

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


YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE UPSTATE NEW YORKER WHEN:

"Vacation" means going South past Syracuse for the weekend.

You measure distance in hours.

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

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

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

You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife
knows how to use them.

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

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