How sway 

"How Sway" is Kanye West's response to something DJ Sway said although no one can remember now what that was. But everyone remembers the response. Maybe it was because the words flowed so well, "How Sway?" That's it. That's all. And now it's an iconic response to someone stating the impossible or just a cool thing to say.
Me: "It's my birthday today!" Cool Cat response: "How swaaay..." (How sway)

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.
