I think the two key issues was that, first, all government agencies did not expect to get +6" of snow and by the time they finally got organized to go out, the roads were already a cluster.  Can't plows cars.  The second was that the heavy snowcame in ealier and heavier than expected.   I got 4" in just over 3 hours and 8" total.  As the ground is still warm, the intial snow melted on the road.  But, it came down so fast, the snow on top built-up and then froze the previouslyt melted layer.  Thus, everyone was trying to drive in 4" of snow on top of a layer of ice.  I ran out for a chore at 2 PM and had to take the long, flat way back home as I tried and failed going up two different hills.  Could be worse, I know folks who slept in their office last night and a few schools had kids staying overnight, too.

It also did not help that where I live, an earlier bad accident requuring LifeStar shut down the two major highways around 8 AM, which subsequently jammed the secondary roads.  The snow began to fall just as the accident was cleared, so the traffic was still heavy when the snow hit the fan.  Basically, 16 hours of traffic hell.
