We don`t get a lot of "severe" weather upstate here,some isolated t-storms,tornado`s are rare.
Worst that we get are noreasters and sometimes prolonged deep freezes.

Tornadoes seem to be a midwestern phenomena but I've heard they had them in all states tho rare.

Upstate New York sounds beautiful! My uneducated view of it is that it has tons of trees. Is it like that? I knew a lady from there, we never discussed what it looked like but she said it's totally different than say...New York City type thing.
