One of my good friends lives in Atlanta, she left work yesterday afternoon when the storm hit and got stuck in ungodly traffic until 6AM THIS MORNING at which time she abandoned her car and walked to a restaurant. She just set out walking home from that restaurant this afternoon, because the streets and traffic are no better now.

Insane.

I can kinda understand since they're down south and probably aren't prepared for more than an inch or two of snow, but they had plenty of time to plan ahead and get some sort of snow preparedness underway.

Reminds me of snowpocalypse in this area when everyone just bailed on their cars. I drove around about a week after the snow finally cleared up enough to drive around without sliding into a snow drift, and every mile or so was 2 or 3 cars off to the side abandoned. Crazy stuff.

In southern MS we got more nailed with ice than with snow. Tons of it, a sleetocalypse. We didn't get more than a couple of inches but it is almost all ice.

We have no snow plows or salt trucks. No one has snow tires. Hence the freak out and the shut down.

Usually the rare snow here melts away within hours, hence the lack of equipment. For the first time in 20 years, we're winter screwed.
