I'd say you are correct, but that Rochester isn't even that well known
for the lake effect snow. (not that it doesn't get it, but I don't
think it holds a candle to the buffalo area).
I live near Corning which is more south of Rochester and my in-laws live
between Jamestown, NY and Erie, PA which is mostly South of Buffalo.
There's almost a visible line you cross somewhere around Salamanca,
where suddenly you're in the REAL snow belt in the winter. Which
usually means that even with the traffic, the highway is covered, you
have a hard time seeing anything but driving snow, and it usually comes
down about 12 inches at a time. (as opposed to this side of that line
where it seems to come down a couple inches at a time).

Yeah, I forgot about the "frosty beard" effect as well, though that's
"usually" snow instead of snot. (:
I remember one time (I don't even think it was THAT cold at the time) I
was getting a little worried as the snow was blowing in my face and I
was squinting, it was literally freezing my eyelashes together...

Been there a few times in Detroit. I have seen -60 with the wind chill,
and it
was unpleasantly cold. I worked in commercial blast freezers for a
couple of
years, and it was not as bad as a bad winter day in Detroit.
Inhaling through the mouth is bad, inhaling through your nose means you
can
feel the moisture in your nose and airway freeze and crackle almost
instantly
(probably TMI for some.) Breath tends to condense in facial hair and
freeze,
and if the cold makes your nose run, you have snotsickles. Stepping back
indoors, if you wear glasses, means that moisture will immediately
condense
on them and freeze.
