When it comes to the snow forecast in Buffalo, New York keep in mind that the snow will pack itself down and settle to a lower depth than the total number of inches recorded that fell through the air.
I've seen blizzards that lasted for five days and dumped what they call 5 feet or 60 inches of snow, but when we emerged from our homes and attempted to walk or drive through the stuff it has settled down to only 3 feet.
And yes, At that time I had a four-wheel-drive pick up truck and I have driven through 3 feet of snow-- up to the door handles.
PS: Buffalo is also a Windy City similar to Chicago. The wind can cause snow drifts nine feet tall to form next to buildings and other structures when the rest of your property might have an average depth of only 2 feet.
I grew up in Buffalo,
and went back there to live for a few years when I went to undergraduate college.
