Copied from Facebook. A few of them hit close to home & made me laugh.

Yep ~ I live in the lower part of Upstate N Y.
still the same...I've heard they are going to send out rubber rafts if the rain continues.
Rain is just unfrozen snow.
This week I've worn short sleeves, then and a sweater and jacket, keep switching my car from heat to AC, sometimes in the same trip, and now that the snow's finally melted, we have road construction... 
And I love an hour north of Albany.
