Sorry for the Fox link. These poor souls have been stuck on 95 for 15+ hours and last night temperatures dipped into the teens. There really is no excuse for this, it looks like nothing was done to put down salt or move snow. We didn't get that much snow, even here in the mountains, so I would guess that's the cause. They're saying up to a foot of snow but the only headline I saw said 5-8 inches. I used to drive up and down 95 all winter from Northern Virginia to Richmond and the only time I saw anything like this was a February snowfall when the state claimed they had run out of road chemicals. And it wasn't this bad.

As somebody who lives in an area that gets well over 200" of snow each winter, I just don't understand this. Do they not have snowplows? Or is just incompetence?
Western Washington state, rural area. I’m on a hill, most would consider a “mountain”. Normally it’s taken care of within 12 hours after a big snow dump. It’s been a week and they’ve hardly done anything. I haven’t seen any sign of de-icer, little plowing. We’ve had some thawing and rain, but it’s still slick as snot.
