Yeah, This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad's step mother lived in Ironwood Michigan in the UP. She used to send us letters written on the newspapers snowfall records. Never had that much snow in Madison, at least in one storm. We did have 113 inches one year but that was the whole winters snowfall!Art
I imagine Chris (Crueby, "kinda" near Buffalo) is probably tooling around the neighborhood with his "Elves" on the Lombard plowing driveways & pulling cars out. You gotta love (or hate..), living by these "Great Lakes". We "only" got about 12-16" inches here along the lakeshore & a "stones throw" inland. John-Living by the "Mistake on the lake", Erie PA
Back around 1978 Lake Erie froze, got dumped weigh snow, then got hit by a strong easterly. Snow blew off of the frozen lake.I lived below the Niagara escarpment and we were ok, but on the escarpment… I vividly remember a picture of a snowmobiler sitting on his sled, one foot on a tree stump. But that was not a stump, but the utility pole at the end of his lane. And pics of snow drifts, almost hiding houses.

while in the Coast Guard I was stationed at Alexandria Bay NY , 30 miles north of Watertown NY, around 1985 the erea was welcoming the 10th mountain division moving to Ft Drum,, it was decided that a big winter carnival would be held,, Lake effect dropped in and the winter carnival was basically cancelled do to excessive snow...
