You build the box so the weight is directly over the axle... and so that the weight does not slide to the front of the bed where it will have minimal effect on traction. The more weight directly over the axle the more traction you will get. Then you should also in the winter take about 4 PSI out of your tires for more traction.
As far as snow fall that depends from year to year. I live close enough to Lake Michigan that I get Lake Effect Snowfall. Which takes a normal storm and multiplies it by about 5 or 6 times. Normal average is about 80-100 inches per year. Then because of where I live we also get a lot of ice storms which totals about 10 inches per winter. The ice storms are worse than the snow storms and we are not allowed to have studded tires in this state.
You get a 100 inches? I had no idea that was even possible anywhere in IND. Incredible. I saw some crazy stuff one year in Chicago off the lake though... horizontal icicles the size of a car for instance....
