Edit: lol, average for st Louis is 15". Come and talk with that same confidence when you see over 60" as my hometown regularly does.

Yeah....my wife is from Michigan where the average is 50 inches, and I have lived in many locations during my military service. I've driven through ice storms in Texas where they have no preparation, and I also drove a semi truck through the donner pass during a whiteout snowstorm. I haven't updated my profile but I actually live somewhere with average snowfall of 38 inches a year according to google.
I'm not saying 60 inches isn't crazy or we have the same conditions I imagine Canada has.... but I've been able to get through a lot with snow tires on a forester. I did replace my last forester with a newer Xterra recently though, so we'll see how it does this winter.
Also, the OP states he is from Delaware. Google says state wide the snowfall average is 13 inches....so less than what you apparently feel I'm qualified to speak about.
