1. They should have closed the schools that morning. They knew it was coming. Even if it was not that bad what happened due to stupidity was worse. Making up a day is no big deal.
We in stupid ole’ southern MS> closed schools, had sand trucks out sanding I-10 overpasses and such the NIGHT PRIOR TO THE STORM HITTING. We are poor and surly don't spend millions for sand etc. I was in Atlanta for the huge storm of 97 or 98. I drove to Birmingham in the 70mph winds and snow. Snow is ok until it becomes ice.
2. You can't really drive on ice for any length of time unless you are really good. Agree.
It just means using some common sense which most big cities don't have. Most school boards don't have any sense either. In fact ours surprised me with thinking ahead as they did. Oh BTW I teach here.
We don't have hurricanes too often but we do prepare. Once again it requires a brain and cities usually don't possess one of those items.
Atlanta used to be nice years ago. Now it is a hell hole IMO.
If someone was injured or killed due to this storm I would love to see the mayor of Atlanta arrested and at least tried. He would get off but it would be fun to watch him/her squirm. That is the problem nothing happens to the aholes who cause the problem.

And since you didn’t ask... no one was injured or killed in the metro area. There was one death in Coweta county.

Though I agree that schools should have been closed. Many did but no all are
