Lake-effect snow in Buffalo

Buffalo's airport averages 95.4 inches of snow a year (1991–2020 normal), and NWS says over half of it comes from very localized lake-effect bands.

Snow load is the local design issue for a new roof. In the November 2014 storm, NWS Buffalo recorded hundreds of major roof collapses and structural failures across the area. Ask how the bid handles ice-and-water shield, ventilation and deck repairs. Owens Corning notes that shingles installed in cold weather may not seal until warmer temperatures arrive.
