well, 46% of possible sunshine in January is far from gloomy if you ask me. Even 40% in december is ok. We have half of Louisville's sunshine in january (but located 6 degrees further north, so really it's not that bad considering the quite shorter days) and I don't think we have particularly dark winters, especially compared to a lot of places further north.
Louisville is almost an A climate for me. Those summers look perfect and winters bring the amount of cold and variation I need. Also, 2500 hours of sunshine is excellent.

Mind you I am comparing against the "sunshine state".
It tends to be in long stretches which makes it feel worse. Believe this past December there were 9 days straight with no sun or even a hint of blue sky. Not acceptable.
That's quite a bit indeed. At least in oceanic places of Northwestern Europe the weather changes several times a day, so chances of sun are likely even at the heart of winter
We had two weeks straight of continuous drizzle here in december, thought I was dying. I can handle grey dry weather a lot better, especially in France where there is often a high visibility even with grey winter weather, whereas here I feel the clouds are usually closer to the ground.
But we certainly don't have a 70F dewpoint in January.
Guarantee it hasn't been cloudy every single minute of the day for a week. And like I said a few posts back, it's really just cold and cloudy together that gets annoying. Florida is amazing in July.
The climate is cooler than I would have thought. The average annual maximum/minimum temperature is about the same as my climate, as are sunshine and rain days, with rainfall about 25% lower. It certainly goes to show how averages don't tell the full story.
Not too good. First off, Lexington is at 38.0N and it's summer's are only slightly warmer than Chicago. St Louis which is at 38.6N is much warmer. Second, it's winter's are lame.

Lexington is about 500 ft higher elevation than St. Louis.
