And, just to be clear, it looks like UA 812, GEG-DEN, slid off taxiway A, not the runway. They were planning to depart runway 3.
FedEx 1476, an MD-10, reported good braking action on the runway, taxiways slippery after landing a short time earlier.

Living near GEG, we had a massive change in WX overnight, temps went from 0F to 0C with early a.m. rain after a week of snow, would imagine RWYs 21 and 3 there got greasy in a hurry. Glad nobody hurt.

Some pictures and a nice pax interview in this news story, sounds like the United crew and staff handled things well:
Plane slides off taxiway at Spokane Airport
From the marks in the snow, looks like the aircraft slid sideways into the snow bank, hopefully no damage.
And speaking of B-737's going sideways on the ground, here's some PPRuNe discussion of why they sometimes seem to taxi with a crab:
