Well...if i was to drive to rockland from here would it be fair to say i'm driving ''upstate''?

Not what I would say, but if you feel upstate is a direction rather than a place then feel free.  Of course, that would mean I am upstate from Islip.

All I care about is that people don't make the mistake of thinking that Brooklyn and Queens is part of Long Island.

Everything after Bear Mountain is upstate imo. Maaaaaybe I-84, but idk, that area feels like upstate to me.

I find Catskills, Adirondacks, Albany area, Central New York, Western, NY, etc to be much more useful descriptions.  The ADKs might be upstate, but Buffalo might as well be in the Midwest.  People in both of those areas consider the Catskills to be "downstate". 

Rockland County upstate? really?

There is no suburb of NYC that I consider "upstate" but some other people do...hence the term is of little value.  And I was serious about the Brooklyn / Bronx thing.  I was floored when I heard that.

PS 24F with very light snow flurries here in upstate Smithtown as of 6PM

I've heard someone from Brooklyn call the Bronx upstate.  really...not kidding!

Dude there are rocks sticking out of the ground. that's the criteria they use. I worked in SOHO for 10 years and everybody said that upstate starts in Washington Heights because there are big rocks there. The ones in Central Park don't count because they were put there.

The rocks in Central Park are part of the bedrock that extends onto the rest of the mainland. Nothing was "put" there.
