To me Rochester is Western.

If you say Rochester is Upstate and not Western, what would you call Canton or Thousand Islands? Artic New York?

See above. Canton = St. Lawrence County, right? "Northern/Adirondacks"

I went to St. Lawrence University. THAT is Upstate...less than miles from the Canadian border.

We used to refer to anything south of Albany as Downstate.
