Lots of blame really to go around. Bad Southern Drivers, lack of equipment and too many people trying to leave at the same times...

Bad Southern Drivers

Not so fast on that one. The stuff turned to ice very quickly. The semis jacknifing and getting stuck on all of the interstates (whose drivers presumably came from all over) were a large part of the problem.

Blame?

1. GA DOT didn't get started with the salt soon enough and got caught in the traffic jams like everyone else.
2. The multiple school districts who normally call off school at the drop of a hat ignored the forecast.
3. The many businesses who prevented employees from leaving until it was already too late (not physically prevented, but threatened them with job action)
4. The state government - a big employer in downtown Atlanta that likewise didn't release employees soon enough.
5. All of those people who migrated from the northeast and thought that they could drive on ice and got stuck

Not so much the snow but the ice.
