Now, this was a deep snow, purportedly from Indiana/Ohio in 1978. http://www.pic2fly.com/Mansfield+Ohio+Blizzard+Of+1978.html I guess the picture is real, it probably did not fall all at once.
I will read the comments, however, it must be the wind factor, 3 feet is a lot of snow but can be cleared without much trouble.
