Atlanta won't get fooled again.
The South is bracing for another blast of winter weather starting Monday night, and Georgia and its biggest city are determined to avoid a repeat of last month's disaster.
Cold will meet precipitation, creating an icy mess from northeast Texas to the Carolinas through Wednesday, according to Weather.com.
After 2 inches of snow in late January debilitated parts of Georgia particularly Atlanta leaving kids stranded in schools and cars stuck on highways overnight, the states transportation department cried wolf last Thursday when declaring a winter weather storm watch for Atlanta that wasnt.
But the upcoming storm threatens half the state, and a large stretch of the South, with a swath of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

It's not the heat snow it's the humidity ice. When you click on the Atlanta forecast for Wednesday a blank screen comes up with the words
Yer Hosed
in the middle of it.

The reality is that government doesn’t deal with non-routine things well. They’re good at extracting every last dime of “revenue” from the citizens, and they’re equally adept at squandering said revenue, but as far as doing things that actually help anyone except their beloved parasite class, they don’t know how.
