We had a pretty good ice storm two days after Christmas, then a big wet snow on top of it. The bottom couple inches froze solid and while they were able to plow off the top layer, the frozen stuff at the bottom remained. During the winters here it doesn't get warm enough to melt things off very quickly, so ice can stick around for months.
It's actually a lot better than it was a few weeks ago. A good portion of the pavement is now clear, it's just the low areas and shaded spots (like this one) that still have ice.

Probably a total of a hundred feet, about 18" wide. I can imagine they were pretty sore after that!
