All of you New Englanders are NY haters;-)
Hey....I'm a New York NY hater.
If you haven't noticed lately....our lovely Empire state is deeply, profoundly broken. Pretty soon there won't be anyone left to clean up the mess....

May not be in NE buts it's a part of the NE...
I guess we need to spell Northeast and New England out now...
Yep. I interpreted him as saying "On NE [New England]" because it would be "On THE Northeast."

It isn't.
I can't *stand* when people try to include New York in the New England region.

I grew up in the DACKS and Vermont. Northern NYS is alot like NE in many ways and not like NE in many ways. When I was a kid there actually was a movement to join Vermont and the AP, the new state would be called Vermondack. They had maps made up and there was even a cool poster. I remember the state food would be the glazed donut and the state insect would the mosquito.

Im dreaming of An Ice Age Christmas
Dear Mr. Glacier,
The AZ weather forecasters told me you were coming down for another visit...cool!
When you do make your trek down over the northeast can you please deposit 6,000-8,000 foot peaks on the north shore of Long Island, that would make skiing and snowboarding really convenient for me (and make those peaks steep too, none of this rolly-poly hill crap)
Maybe you could take a cue from the Pacific northwest (like around Vancouver) and really make a dramatic landscape like that over here thanks I appreciate the favor glacier gods...see you in January, have fun storming the castle..ws...

Long Island and Cape Cod are actually the deposited glacial material.

Cripes I owe my entire existence to glaciers!!
..I wish they would have left more rocks last time.
The Northeast Mountains are related to the mountains in Scandinavia as they were connected during the Pangea Era
We were taught in grade school that the common geological wisdom is that the glacial deposits formed the northern half of Long Island with the southern half basically being runoff and sand deposits from the ocean-it makes sense too the soil on the north shore is rocky while the soil on the south shore is basically sand and clay.
Something neat to notice is looking at Long Island and southern New England on a map (especially one that shows water depths Google maps shows this pretty well), you can see how the two forks of Long Island are ridges that stretch out to Natucket and the Cape.
Plum Island, Block Island, Fishers Island, Great Gull Island NTK and MV are all little rock piles along those ridges...They even say Montauk was an Island off of present day East Hampton before glacial deposits helped fill that gap...
OMG: Does this mean Long Island is more part of New England Than New York?...
I mean we both have suffolk counties and Interstates 495
and to think all this time I've been rooting against the Redsox...:dunce: :razz:
