Grew up north of Syracuse. Still miss the white hotdogs served at Hyde’s in Liverpool.
Don’t miss the potential for significant snow from October through mid-May and the 25 to 35 below zero temps that happen every winter.
Oh yeah, the dogs, there ya go!
Most of my family is still back there, and I guess it’s been fairly mild the last ten or so years.
But I remember looking out the window one January and seeing the deer pawing through the snow trying to find apples... probably 30 or 40 deer that night.
Somewhere in the neighborhood of ten to twenty below.
That’s life threatening stuff. You don’t even want to take the smallest chance then. Gotta hunker down as best you can!
