User ID: 67405628 United States 01/06/2017 11:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know about Georgia, but they're all closed in Central Alabama. We aren't expecting any real travel problems until about 5, but it's Alabama. People freak out whenever it snows, and it's probably safer just to burn the snow day than take the chance. Guaranteed, there will be a thousand accidents on the roads at rush hour tonight because that's when it's supposed to start getting bad.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72530568 Canada 01/06/2017 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My son just drove down there, arrived yesterday. He has snow tires on the car from driving around here. The issue isn't the snow, its the lack of salt trucks and being able to clear the snow - as well as people not used to driving in snow. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72530568 The issue isn't the snow, its the lack of salt trucks and being able to clear the snow - as well as people not used to driving in snow. Oh we have salt trucks down here now... As well huge stock piles of salt along our highways. The States D.O.T. got smart, after the 2014 snow storm. But there is some concern that if the storm is bad enough tonight, it could over come the salt treatments they're putting on all the roads. I've covered though... I've got bucket of sand in the back of my car... it only costs $5 for a 50lb bag at Home Depot... so I picked up 2 bags a couple years ago. Originally it was used as a sand box for my pet Ferrets to play in. But I decided to shovel some into a bucket this morning,and put it in the back of my car. If I get stuck on ice on my way home this evening, I'll just get out, grab a handful of the sand and go sprinkle it around under my tires. |

Its also all the northerners, who come down here in their fancy 4 wheel drives with snow tires... who think, they know what they're doing... But they're the ones who end up causing all the accidents, cause they don't understand the Black Ice.... which "snow" tires aren't much use on. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 37936964 United States 01/06/2017 12:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 10 minutes past Noon here in Atlanta. 90% of all the businesses here in my office park, just emptied out in the last 20 minutes. My business, and maybe 2 others... are the only ones still here. Our parking lot is empty. We're planning to remain here for at least the next few hours. We kinda have too anyway, the Boss went up to Cumming an hour ago for an important meeting, and he's not expected back for a couple more hours. |

So far just lots of rain over Atlanta. Weather Radar however shows snow to the east, moving further south... so as the afternoon gets later, all this rain is going to change. |

Snow is not "hell" Its a Day Off. Its the Black Ice, that is the "hell"... 2:50pm and WSB News is now reporting gridlock conditions in several areas, ice on bridges, and several major traffic wrecks. |

User ID: 72314325 United States 01/06/2017 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's about to drop freezing here, which will make the roads hard to drive on here. Last time I nearly had a wreck as I hit ice on a bridge over a railway. Scared the crap out of me as I nearly drove off a 15 foot drop, but there was just enough shoulder space to stop. I just bought new tires yesterday just in case. |

If you're a northerner, you know only all too well about black ice. It doesn't happen just in your neck of the woods. Up here, it's as normal as snow. I wish you the best. Stay safe.
