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.
Well then.
The prediction of global warming 20 years out, MUST be true.
They are just so GOOD at predicting the weather!
That's the way I heard it too. Less than an inch in North Fulton County where I live, and 1-3 inches in Coweta County where I work.
Today, the press has come down with a chronic case of revisionist history and are now saying that they predicted this all along and that the Republican governor should have done something to prevent this disaster.
One point the governor made which anyone with a semi-smart phone can relate to is the traffic app maps. At noon, every interstate hwy in the entire metro area was green. By 12:37, every one of them was red. It happened that fast.
