A little something from Wikipedia.....

"Upstate" is a common term, used by "Downstaters," for New York State counties north of suburban Westchester and Rockland counties. Upstate New York typically includes the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains, the Shawangunk Ridge, the Finger Lakes and the Great Lakes in the west; and Lake Champlain, Lake George, and Oneida Lake in the northeast; and rivers such as the Delaware, Genesee, Mohawk, and Susquehanna. Central New Yorkers refer to "Upstate" generally as the Region north of I-90 (for example Watertown), regions west of Syracuse are "Western New York" (i.e. Rochester and Buffalo), Binghamton is the "Southern Tier" and "Downstate" is the Hudson Valley and New York City. The highest elevation in New York is Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks.
