re: #394 HappyWarrior

I have some friends from upstate New York. Some of the coldest winters I’ve heard about. I just couldn’t do it.

There’s a reason the US Army does winter training at Ft Drum. And that was southeast of us a ways.

The town we lived in (Massena) challenged places in Minnesota for coldest place in the lower 48 every so often. Old Forge, which is near Ft Drum was often as cold (or colder), but I don’t think they had an official weather station. They got more snow too since they sit on the lee side of Lake Ontario on an elevation (Tug Hill Plateau).
