To put this in some kind of perspective, where I live we normally get less than an inch of snow each winter, and it if snows one night it's mostly melted by the following night. Right now it looks like the only melting that's taken place is where cars and people have been, and that's all now frozen from semi-mushy slush to solid ice. According to the news, the last time it snowed this heavily was 18 years ago. We're just simply not used to it as it doesn't happen all that often, so we're not prepared when it does. (Unlike leaves falling in autumn, which seem to throw the trains into chaos each year, despite leaf fall being an annual occurence...)
And our local council didn't grit most of the main roads in the area, and certainly none of the smaller ones.

8-10 inches is pretty rough even for PA. So I won't make fun of you
Ice is nasty though, stay off the roads.
