AnnaS's reference to upstate NY reminded me of a week long visit I made years ago to a town called Olean where I was told about some seriously unbelievable winter weather conditions that could arise in the Adirondacks. But the place stays in my mind mainly due to the argument I had with the waitress in the motel dining room because I required my bottle of French red at room temperature rather than chilled. She really didn't want to serve it to me that way - was sure I wouldn't like it. The Castle Motel it was. Wonder if it's still there. I remember it fondly!
