I live in the Midwest now, but grew up in Portland. 8-11' there is a LOT, and I felt every word of your adventure (and know exactly where that freeway picture is).
Funny thing about PDX; there's literally a mountain about an hour away that people drive to/from all year long with relatively few issues. But an inch or 2 of snow in the metro area, and it's lights out.
