That's the kind of Lake Effect snow you get from a North wind blowing over the length of Lake Michigan.

I've seen the ice pushed up over parts of Lake Shore Drive, and old newspaper files show pictures of ice pushing up against buildings in downtown Chicago.

It's coming.

I didn't get to see that, but I built a cell site in Bridgeman, MI, right behind the McDonald's off of I-94. We had easement access to the site from the McDonald's parking lot. After that big dump, McDonald's plowed their parking lot and left a 20' tall pile of snow blocking our access the day the tower was delivered. The trucking company charged them $500/hr the whole time it was sitting there waiting for them to move the snow. I don't think I've ever seen anybody as mad as the manager of that Micky D's that day....
