Monroe County gets lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario — Rochester averages 99 inches annually. Roofs here face extreme winter stress. Metal standing seam roofing is the premium choice for snow shedding; heavy-duty architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph wind and high snow load are the standard upgrade. Ice dam prevention (R-49+, balanced ventilation) should be addressed during any replacement.
