We actually get a lot more than that, sometimes, but were used to it here and everyone is equipped to deal with it. Everyone around here has a four wheel drive. OTOH, when we get six or seven feet in a few days, everything here comes to a stop, too, but that's quite a rare event.
The most we normally have at any given time is about three or three and a half feet, but the roads are kept passable. We have huge plows for the main roads and somewhat smaller plows for the smaller roads like mine, but they still take up two thirds of the road when they come down. When they encounter a vehicle coming the other way it's a delicate dance to get by. And in the Spring it's a pain to deal with all of the stone kicked up onto the front lawns from the plows.
A few times I've actually had to go out and dig around my Hughesnet dish when the snow drifts because it's actually lower to the ground than it's supposed to be. The bottom of the dish is only about three and a half feet from the ground. My DirecTV dish, OTOH, is on my roof.
