This is another "misconception".
You can see snowfall records
here.
The extreme all-time daily snowfall was 66 cm of snow in February 2004 (White Juan). January is 43 cm and December 47. These are all-time records.
Victoria's all-time record is 64.5 cm.
Halifax on average gets 0.79 days a year with 25 cm of snowfall or more and 6.2 days of 10 cm or more.
Believing 75-100 cm snowfalls are typical in Halifax is like believing -40 is the typical winter temperature in Montreal.
