Hi NY girls! I don't really have anything to add to your post, but I lived in NY all my life (until 4 years ago), and it makes me so happy to see and talk to people from there. I'm from a LOT farther north than any of you (but went to college near Rochester), and some people don't even consider it a part of NY...LOL!! Us St. Lawrence county dwellers tend to be forgotten.
That's all, just wanted to say hi and good luck!!
