791 car accidents. That’s a lot.
I give you folks a break for not having experience with that crap. Up here kids learn to drive on the ice in the first year and us country kids learn before getting our licenses.
My granddad caught me playing on the ice once and just shrugged it off as learning.
Here is a great link.

I made the decision to leave work at 2:00 and live near Winder. Luckily it never got too bad out here. At 1:00 I heard there were already 15-20 wrecks in Cobb county with several overturned vehicles.
All the weather stations were saying Atlanta may get 0.5” dusting and all the main snow would be 2 hours south of Atlanta. They also said it wouldn’t come through until 3:00 So when it hit at 11:00, no one was prepared.
From the reports I heard, the snow hit the ground, melted, and then froze again.
