Ain't that the truth.
Syracuse is known for its winters. But Oswego winters will make even the heartiest Syracuse resident cringe.
Not to hijack the thread but someone was telling me about Earl Belcher and that he is an accomplished jazz musician in the Albany area. I checked out his wiki page and it said he got an MBA from Oswego. Didn't know that.Cheeseburger Sub w/the works

I don't know. During my years in Oswego it was cold and windy but the snow wasn't too bad. We always said the winds dropped it on Fulton. I do remember driving back to school after winter break one year from Rochester and going through the little hamlet of Martville just west of Oswego. They had a white out 24 hrs before that dropped about 60 inches overnight. 104 looked like a bobsled run.Yes, if I remember correctly, they have a big pile of snow each year that doesn't usually finish melting until sometime in August. Anyone have a status report? Is there still snow in Oswego?
Couldn't agree more. I ordered a full sub with the works last Saturday night with plans to save half for Sunday. I didn't have the discipline...scarfed-down the entire sandwich within 4:44 seconds!Cheeseburger Sub w/the works

30 mph gusts? That's the steady wind. The gusts are probably more like 50 mph sometimes. I don't know that there's anything worse than walking around a corner of a building on the SUNY Oswego campus that was blocking the wind and getting slammed right in the face with a gust.Snow doesn't actually accumulate in Oswego the way it does in Syracuse. In Oswego, they get "horizontal snow" because of the 30mph gusts coming off the lake. Absolutely brutal
You're right the winds tend to carry farther inland (and then drop it on the house I grew up in), but what he was referring to was the that the city piles up the snow that they clear off of the streets and then have a contest to see who can guess when the pile completely melts. That's usually in june or july.I don't know. During my years in Oswego it was cold and windy but the snow wasn't too bad. We always said the winds dropped it on Fulton.

Boomsday over labor day weekend in Knoxville may be a little bigger, but the setting at Harborfest is way better.I've seen a lot of fireworks, nothing tops Harborfest's display.

The best way to see it is from a boat, kinda like harborfest. The setting is more cramped, so you have to get there early to get a decent spot, and even then it's not a comfortable. If you're lucky enough to know someone with one of the nice apartments over looking the river on the south side, I've heard that's a pretty good view.I've heard good things about that. I'll have to check it out.

I hope they're not. I didn't hate UT until I moved here and found out how insufferable their fans are (and SEC fans in general). And it's not just football. They think they should be considered a top tier team in basketball too. I revel in their current suffering.Thanks on the info. I've only been to Knoxville on business once and the Florida game last year but would like to make it back - hopefully UT will be a contender in 2014.

Haha. Yeah, that's one way to approach it. When I came down I wasn't sure if I would root for or against UT. I waited to see what was going to come naturally. After hearing them say things like "Do they have football at Syracuse?" and cheer for whatever SEC team plays for the national championship, since their team sucks, I found myself rooting against them. I've decided that I'm a missionary to the south and I'm attempting to spread the gospel of true orange, not the watered down pseudo orange they proclaim.That's fair, I've only been down here a couple years (back to back seasons without a bowl game) which has really shut their fans up. It's funny listening to sports radio here and having Vanderbilt fans (they do exist) pile on the UT program. As delusional as UT fans can be, the bandwagon Alabama fans are that much worse. They're EVERYWHERE in Nashville and take over sports bars across the city. I really don't see Vanderbilt becoming an SEC power but based on the recruiting class Butch has put together so far I can see them challenging Alabama in a couple years. Living in the South I feel like I need an SEC program to cheer for and Tennessee seems like the logical choice.
