We have at least 3ft of snow on the ground that we received Friday. Thursday you could see grass and mud on the ground and now you can't see anything but snow, snow and more snow. I tried to take pictures but kids took off with the batteries to my camera once again. I guess that we have another storm coming thru today at least someone told me that yesturday. All I see is light lake effect right now and theres probley 2 or 3 inches of new snow in the driveway. A couple of years ago I had this friend send me this email I saved it I don't know why maybe because I really can relate to it.
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, NY. (Syracuse really doesn't get that much snow it is that they consider those of us in Oswego County that get the snow if they get more than 4 inches at once it closes most of the city)
If your local Dairy Queen 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. (Well its not really winter until the first time we do receive that much)
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 NY.
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. (Heck do this many times together, David would all winter long if I let him)
If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in Upstate New York.(I had someone try todo this to me, but I didn't go for it)
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE UPSTATE NEW YORKER WHEN:
"Vacation" means going South past Syracuse for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.(Yea that's me)
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.(Can't count the times Dave has came home and said he hit a deer on 481)
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.(Can't everyone?)
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.(No security lights but before I met Dave I would leave my doors unlocked, but he is from Syracuse where their crime rate is sooooo high he doesn't allow me to leave things unlocked)
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use them.(I also know how to change a tire and check my oil)
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.(Not every year but you never know we might have snow on Halloween or may not get it until the middle of January)
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.(This is better than them trying to fix potholes in the winter)
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.(This one is very true)
You can identify a southern or eastern accent.
Down South to you means Corning .
Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
You go out for a fish fry every Friday
Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.(Since we both work right here in town this is so true)
You find 10 degrees "a little chilly." and 55 is shorts weather.(Nope 5 degrees gets chilly once you have negitave temps 10 feels like a heat wave and 55 is shorts weather along with a hoodie just ask David, but then again he thinks 10 is shorts and a hoodie weather)
Just had to share my comments in there. But with all this snow what am I thinking about?????
Racing, Racing and more Racing. This morning while going thru one of the racing message boards that I read daily I found this: http://www.oswegospeedway.com/Home/tabid/36/ctl/ArticleView/mid/427/articleId/392/Default.aspx
This would be the greatest if he could win this, it would be almost enough to pay for his new car and engine also it would be a great first win in this division. Now this will be his third year in the Super Modified the first year he was Rookie of the Year 10th in point standing (which was his goal) His second year goal was to be top 5 in point standings, and placed 4th in points, he also won three heat races. This year's goal is to finish in top 3 and get at least one feature under his belt. He has designed a car he is going old/new, the car builder said it is the most fun he has had building a car in years. One thing I have to say is Don't let it go to your head Jay.
