I lived in Elmira for 40 years. While not in the "snow belt", and getting far less snow than you did in Rochester, we also had long, cloudy, dreary winters with little sunshine.
I once spent a winter weekend in Toronto. The weather was cold, but brilliantly sunny, with a sharp northwesterly wind. We went up to the observation floor of the CN tower and looked south across the lake towards Rochester. You could see a wall of clouds and snow from the lake effect. So while it was sunny and bright (but cold) in Toronto, I am sure it was cloudy and snowy in Rochester.
