Just north of Glens Falls, south of Lake George. And the extremes we've been experiencing have been getting noticeably worse. We heard about the damage from Hurricane Sandy, but that just gave us rain here, it was Hurricane Irene that devastated this area - we saw major damage as far south as Albany and as far east as Vermont. I went to camp in Vermont as a kid and saw the damage they suffered. The camp has been there since 1951 and Lake Champlain rose so high that the buildings on the beach level were just gone!
Two years ago this month we had a blizzard in October. I had to go out, kept thinking that the main roads had to be okay, but I was wrong. I pulled over to call my friend to see if anyone else was going out and I got stuck, traffic was at a crawl because the snow was accumulating so fast and visibility was terrible. Because the leaves were still on the trees and the ground wasn't yet frozen, trees were uprooted all over, there was damage all over from the fallen trees, not to mention power outages. These extreme weather events are becoming more common. 
Last winter was a nightmare we had so many storms - well into March. And it's not just the record lows, the summer was hotter than we experienced as kids. When I was in school, I worked summers at an amusement park in Lake George. My boss used to send the mechanics around with "salt pills" for us ride operators standing out in the sun. But this year it was so much hotter every day that I can't imagine dealing with that now.
