Schenectady has lots of guns. But Hull sounds like a lot of fun. Be it Hull or Schenectady they are in for a heck of a day. They will both equally freeze. Because one is by the sea and the other from lake effect breeze. There is a strong possibliity that the melted Artic water will drive the Gulf stream so far south that Hull will freeze solid.

Schenectady is pretty depressed.
Even the mansions at Altamont are in disrepair.
