They say "plow with the storm". Your first pass will be tough if you let it accumulate, after that you can half blade it. You know each snow is a little different, heavier wetter and under tire conditions as well. I think you'll be fine. If I snooze on a deep one, that is let it get to deep, the first pass is down the milldle with the blade straight. A deep enough snow will push most any plow off direction.
