Im just south of Watertown NY. Its not the same as southern Ohio thats for sure!
Everyone comments on my deep south southern accent... LOL
I hear it gets cold over there, I was commented on for a few years when I moved to California from Texas about my southern draw, lol.
Jefferson County, what in heaven's name got you up there? Are you in the military?
I grew up there, beautiful area but the economy was terrible when I lived there, things seem better now with the 10th.
The weather can be pretty bad with lake effect snow between Watertown and Central Square, although the last few winters have been mild.
