3:00 AM is the witching hour, when the devil, demons, and ghosts are at it's strongest. Some say if you wake up at this hour, somebody is watching you. Another thing is, there might be footsteps, unusually loud. And theres a legend that if you do something, ex: talking to Siri, playing games, making something, could result in something unusually frightening.

Words you can keep
A time that gets some people freaked out, as it's rumored to be cursed. By deductive reasoning, those who are scared most likely have normal sleep schedules.

Meanwhile when night owls see 3am, they just shrug and go back to doing their own thing.
Normal person at 3am: *loud creaky noise* Oh shit what was that?! Oh god it's 3:00 AM...

Me, a night owl, at 3am: *loud creaky noise* Meh. *goes back to playing Valorant*
Alot of clickbait YouTubers use the legend that 3:00 Am is cursed and that if you're awake at 3:00 am you're going to be able to summon demons or that you're going to die. The most infamous YouTuber that does "3:00 am Challenges " is JayStation.

This is commonly used when a really bad YouTuber relishes a video that is a 3:00am challenge, and is just filled with lies. People who make this type of content are people that can find anything productive to do.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
