Buffalo averages 94 inches of snow annually with some years exceeding 150 inches. Metal standing seam roofing is the clear performance choice — it sheds snow, handles ice, and never needs replacement within the life of the home. Asphalt replacement is still common; specify minimum 130 mph wind-rated, 50-year shingles with complete ice-and-water shield coverage in this climate.
