Cold in Upstate NY

Recent toyhauler purchase, upgraded from a 29QBTS Travel Trailer. Can't wait for the 1st trip in the new camper. We dragged out TT from Maine to Colorado to Florida, and look forward to the comfort and ease of the XLR.

"Upstate NY" meaning not-Long Island and not-NYC?

At least "North Country" (NY) is a bit more specific. It's north of upstate.

In Michigan there's Northern Michigan which is, of course, in the Lower Peninsula, not the Upper Peninsula (pronounced You-Pee).

In Illinois everywhere but Cook County (Chicago) is is "downstate." Just means "not-Chicago."

Upstate

Rochester area, I consider anything north of duchess county and west of Monticello as upstate. Anything else, I have another name for, but I won't post it here!!

I realized that "Upstate" in NY was really relative when I worked on Fordham Rd. in the Bronx and spoke to the head office in Queens. The lady there said "Oh, you work upstate?"

Upstate is a derogatory term for those areas not in NYC. The peasants live upstate. In reality they are political-peasants as they have no political power which all rests in NYC and the areas touching it.

I've lived in Bronx, Westchester, Rockland, Ulster, and Putnam counties. I'll take Upstate to live in, thank you very much.








I can VISIT NYC anytime I want.
