12. A dome in Buffalo would be unwise.

Here's the thing about lake-effect snow: it's very moist and therefore very heavy. Buffalo regularly sees a 20" snowfall at some point in the winter. If you built a dome there, it would collapse.

Folks who live in Buffalo are used to the snow. They can handle it.
