Any reason why you singled out Syracuse in the 2nd Circuit? I grew up in the Rochester area. The weather there can be crummy too, but I like the city as a whole. I live in the Albany area now. The housing market here is inflated IMO, but it's close to NYC, Boston and Montreal.

Because a) it's as far north as the spousal unit will go, b) it's not as prohibitively expensive as NYC, and c) there's a judge there with an opening. If more judges post openings in other cities in the 2nd circuit, I might consider them. Also, I'm more willing to go somewhere somewhat unpleasant for a court of appeals (such as here) than I am for district court.
