    You Know Your From WNY -

    When you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them.

    Driving the 400 in a blizzard at 65mph seems OK to you.

    You can pronounce the names of all our towns and spell them!
    Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, Blasdell etc.

    Snow days only happen after we recieve 2+ feet of snow in an hour!

    Add yours!

    When your excuse for everything is unions and high taxes.


    Husband talking to wife:

    No I did not forget to bring home the milk.

    I did not get the milk because of the damn unions and high taxes in NYS.

    you're from WNY when you buy ice cream in the dead of winter and you finish off before you get home.

    ...When you at least consider the possibility of wearing shorts to the supermarket in January because the temperature hit 40.

    You know what a butter lamb is.
    You go to your Aunt's house where she puts plastic on all the furniture.

    You know you're from WNY when you order Pizza and Wings together. People never order them together down here.
