I was out yesterday afternoon, on the pre-frontal SE winds, at the SW corner of Lake Ontario imaging early Arctic migrating hawks. This is a professional Rough-legged Hawk. An adult male, veteran of some seasons in the bigs. The semi-pro Roughlegs are waiting, biological clock-wise, for a later season call-up.

Well... "Upstate" is based on an NYC POV. So anything north of Peekskill is "Upstate". As in, "Your cousin, the drug dealer, is Upstate serving three to five".
Ithaca is Upstate. It is also the Southern Tier, and vaguely Central NY. Certainly: "The Finger Lakes", but you know that.
Go "Little Red", if you are a native of The People's Republic of Ithaca, where Ithaca is Gorges.
My favorite Ithaca bumper sticker reads, "Don't Vote, It Only Encourages Them "

It was 80 degrees in north Mississippi today. Rode around in the jeep with the top down. But high tomorrow is supposed to be 50. Enjoy it while you can I guess.
snowyowl, great picture.
I grew up In Syracuse. And I'm used to people thinking that every place in NY above NYC is thought as upstate.
I watched a recent American Pickers show. They said they were in upstate NY picking, when in fact they were in the Catskill Mt area, which is the southern tier of NYS.

lasttango,
Syracuse, when it used to be a calm, low crime area. But that was back in the day of no Tv, but a large console radio, when milk was delivered by the milkman in a horse drawn wagon, and I had to walk to the ice house to get ice for the icebox.
Syracuse! Practically neighbors. I miss Syracuse and Cornell lacrosse games.
Snowy Owl, you seem to know Ithaca well!

*84 in West Texas, been a real calm winter so far, girlfriend is already talking about getting the garden started
79 degrees in Western MD for the past few days, now 61 degrees this am, smoking outside!
The Flyers/Penguins are supposed to play their "Outdoor Classic" today in Pittsburgh. It's supposed to be colder there fast, with even some snow possible by the end of the game.

Born and raised in Buffalo. I always love when people refer to Buffalo as "upstate". People have a strange concept of "up". Buffalo is no questions asked, Western New York and the proper way to refer to it, IMO.
They broke a temperature record on Friday at 71˚.
