Is there a question buried in this statement?

She'll be fine by then, I live in Hamburg NY & got HAMMERED with snow. By Sunday she may want to use a canoe as we're looking at a crap load of flooding.

Wow.

But not to be pedantic, but that looks like about 3 ft not including drifts?

The OP posted about 5' of snow. The guy that posted pics made no claims on depth. Either way thats a metric **** ton of snow.

Keep in mind, snow fall & snow pack are 2 different things. It's humid & hovering around freezing. The snow shown is packed solid, I couldn't push it with my Quad & plow trucks couldn't push it. National Guard & towns /Villages have somewhere around 300+ loaders just moving snow so the plow trucks can get through.

Total snow fall at my house is around 80" (per weather channel), some villages have more. Believe me, pictures do NO justice. Gotta love WNY......

Oh ya, Cherokee had no issues.....
