Thought that would be a smart idea because the snowstorm had already been gone for a few days.

Gotta say, wasnt a nice experience having to turn in 10 strokes on a road near a cliff because we couldn't keep going.

This was in Portland, we were so surprised by this because we're used to backroads being cleared of ice within the first day.

Portland, Oregon? The problem there is it barely snows at all. Most years maybe an inch once or twice. Not enough snow for locals to practice driving before a big snow/ice storm hits. Very poor road clearing because of minimal $$ devoted to something that may not even be used once a year. Edit to add: And people don’t buy snow tires they probably won’t use.
