The Definitive Solution to the Upstate NY Question

[Harvey]

I know this doesn't really belong here, but I'm not giving it it's own thread.

Hi Harvey,

I’m following up to see if you had a chance to review the report? MyDatingAdviser.com has compiled a ranking of the coziest small towns in America.

These New York towns are considered the coziest: Ellicottville (ranked No. 4 coziest in the nation), Lake Placid (7th), Lake George (10th), Cooperstown (25th), Hudson (50th), Skaneateles (91st) and Rhinebeck (96th).

Their study compared 170 of the coziest small towns in the US across the following categories: weather, food, and activities. In addition, they looked at data points like average winter temperature, snowfall, cafes, bakeries, and craft shops.
