I've lived here for my whole life and only once has it been this bad, in 1996 after an ice storm that knocked out power for two weeks to my office.
I drove a four-wheel drive truck to Tacoma and it took well over an hour because Interstate 5 was literally compact snow and ice from Olympia to Lakewood. I took the train, but the roads were so bad that you literally couldn't accelerate or brake without sliding.
What's amazing is that I made it to the office at all; turns out the campus is closed today, but I didn't find out until I got here.
