Yes indeed, and upstate NY is a good place to be from.

I always get confused about NY. I am never sure what is upstate,
downstate or something else.
I lived in Kingston and Binghampton/Endicott/Union. I was never sure
where I was. I know I got snowed on 11/10/79 and it sucked. I also
lost a ball on my drive on #1 at the IBM course in Endicott. It landed
in the snow and I did not look for it ;-)

If you live in the NY metro area, Kingston is upstate and so is
Binghampton. If you're a real upstater though, you have to be farther
north than that. Syracuse and Albany are definitely upstate although
they're also referred to as central NY and the capitol district
respectively. Kingston and Poughkeepsie are in what is called the
Hudson Valley region. To a real upstater, Binghampton and west is the
southern tier. If you want real cold however, you have to be in the
North Country which is loosely defined as the counties south of the St
Lawrence River. The greatest snow fall occurs in a band south and
east of lake Ontario, and east of Lake Erie, aka, the lake effect snow
belt.
