Snowstorm shat on Washington with 2 feet of snow in some places. Okay, we've been through this before, not too big of a deal, even if it's unusual.
But then an ice storm happens just afterwards with a combination of sleet, wind, and snow. Whole place freezes over, with dozens of things literally encased in ice, including whole trees. Roads turn to hell, places with trees become burried under branches (and even more impassable), and tons of people have accidents. Power was out for 19 hours, and internet comes back another 19 hours later. Like, right now. But we're lucky, since dozens of other people including some of my relatives are taking shelter in other people's houses due to lack of power and heat in their homes.
If there ever was a supernatural elemental storm, this would be one of them.
