From an out of stater. What is the difference between northern NY. And up state?
Yeah, It definitely depends on where you live. I,m just south of watertown and always considered anywhere above NYS thruway as Northern NY.
I think of it this way.... (Image removed from quote.)
No way.
like I said that's the way I think of it..... I went to school in cortland which is CNY in my opinion and I consider upstate the same as northern but thats just my opinion....
I agree on Cortland being central NY. But i think a lot of people consider upstate NY below central NY. Central NY is a wayyyy smaller region then you have shown on that map. Honestly come up here and ask anyone and I mean anyone if this is upstate NY and people will laugh at you.
Yup. Heck the wife and I are sitting on Colby in Saranac lake and I cantwait to fish back home. The wife goes to school in Ithaca and they describe where we live as Canada. Lol.
I just use the "arm" of ny as a easy reference point for people who don't know (mainly people from li and the city) I could get more detailed in another map if you want me to split "upstate" and "Northern." I go up to Raquette Lake and the Daks every summer for work and I know theres probably another 3 hours till I get to the canada border..... my honest opinion of "Northern" and "Upstate" is A line across from rochester and a line across from watertown between those is upstate and anything north of the line from watertown until plattsburgh is "Northern" and anything above that might as well be Canada lol but anything north of the watertown line is northern in my opinion.
I think of it this way.... That's because you live "down" there.
I agree more with this. Expect for the last thing lol. If everyone considers the TRUE north to might as well be Canada, then this thread should disband and move to the Ontario section lol. Because many of us are right up on the river, looking at Canada.But we are still American..
and anything above that might as well be Canada lol
I guess the lol wasn't enough to show my sarcasm
That's because you live "down" there.
And yes, too many regions. Just goes to show we live in a pretty cool, geographically diverse state. Despite all the negativity that gets shed on us.
I've always differed upstate and northern ny like this... north of Albany to me is upstate ny and I generally think of northern ny as Essex, Clinton, Franklin, St Lawrence and the northern parts of Hamilton, Lewis and Jefferson counties... but that's just my opinionI have family and I lived in Elizabethtown and it's a completely different world then Saratoga which is completely different then Albany IMO. I personally love the north country and hope to be able to live there again one day
