I don't know how "Upstate" I really was. I was only visiting. My friends
both called it "Upstate".
Back during my first attempt at going to college in the late 60s one
spring break while everyone else headed south, I ended up in New
Paltz and Oneonta to visit friends who had gone to school up there.
Hitch-hiked up and back. I remember snow on the ground, but fortunately,
it didn't snow on me while I was on the road. Snowed before I got there,
snowed after I left.

I'm sure that Upstate New York has much harsher winters than we do in Toronto.
Buffalo, to the south of us, certainly does, but that's due to lake-effect snow.
Toronto has had increasingly mild winters over the last couple of decades. I
don't think it's global warming I think it's more about being at the edge of
temperate and frigid zones. That interface moves slightly north or south and
our weather changes drastically.
Not many places in Canada other than Vancouver have milder winters than
Southern Ontario.
So this winter hasn't been harsh by Canadian standards but it has by recent
Toronto standards.
This weeks snowfall isn't that unusual for March but it's been relentless since
December and that's unusual.
Anyway, thanks to all for the comments and for looking.
Cheers,
frank

north as upstate NY & even late May snow isn't that unusual.
Hope the weather gets better for you soon, but I'm glad it's up there
and not down here.

Yesterday was the warmest day in months; temps around 10C/low 40sF.
Much melted snow. I rode my bike to work for the first time since
mid-December.
Today:

High winds, plummeting temps down to -15C. Winter's not going away
without a struggle.
Didn't notice it at the time of shooting but it's like a winter
version of Boulevard of Broken Dreams. But not as good.
:-)
