Winters in Washington state are worse than New York? What a buncha shit. I’ve lived equal amounts of years in both places and there’s no comparison. Yeah, it rains a lot here. I’ll take that over white-out conditions, 3ft of snow overnight, snow glare, black ice, frostbite, ice storms that collapse homes and barns and every power line for three counties, and a week every winter where it doesn’t get above thirty below zero. What idiot wrote this article?

Newsflash: most of New York State is not New York City. You know? The southernmost part of the state?

I lived in Malone and Potsdam, basically straight west of Plattsburgh. The running joke was that we had four seasons. In order: ice fishing, mud, construction and hunting. 8-9 months of winter is no shit. Go from -30 in parts of the winter to the mid 90's in the height of summer with exactly nobody having air conditioning because 8-9 months of winter. No thanks.
