Realistically, I would say that Niagara Falls weather can be quite good from late April to mid to late October. The coincides with seasons from spring flowers to fall colour.
As someone from 'further north', there is a weather switch around April 20th. Although snow is possible in October, it is quite rare. Real wintery weather typically arrives here further north in the latter part of November or even early December.
What Niagara Falls needs to go after is the business convention market. This again requires better transportation connections to airports but could help fill the hotels when tourist traffic is low. Generally speaking, in Canadian cities, convention season is fall to spring or the opposite of tourist season. Inadequate transportation connections is really limiting Niagara Falls for the convention market.
