I believe the last time Atlanta had a problem with snow was 1983.

Since then, the problem with our biennial (yet, according to the media, 'rare') winter storms is sheets of smooth ice covering the roadways of a metro area within an hour or two, as was the problem this time.

Atlanta is not equipped to address that, although it's a frequent occurrence.

trucks with spreaders loaded with salt and sand...which is stored in many locations under a pavilion style roof to keep the rain from washing it away and the trucks are loaded when needed...if it happens every few years it is enough to set up the infrastructure...
