The powers that be in Atlanta knew full well this weather was coming...what they should have done was inform the public that all the Interstates, by-passes etc. etc. would be shut down in advance of the precipitation ...this would have forced the commuters etc to wake up before the fact and heed the advance warnings...
Thinking of the lady OPP constable who is in hospital tonight - at the front end of this recent closure she was parked in her cruiser while assisting a disabled vehicle and had her cruiser slammed into by a tractor trailer. I hope she makes it.

A rural area not that far NW of me has road closures in place again tonight. Police barricades go up, with flashing lights on them. If you drive on a Closed Road, your insurance is Null and Void, and you can be fined and hit with license demerit points.
We have the heavy snow removal equipment, but when storms get that bad, the smart thing to do is close the road.

I saw one news report/film of Gov Nathan Deal blaming the Nat'l Weather Service for erroneously forecasting that the bulk of the weather would pass to the south of metro Atl, and then changing the forecast at the last minute. NOT! Every forecast I saw in advance of the debacle clearly and consistently said 1-3in.

The energy now being expended with finger-pointing probably could have gotten all your roads sanded - by hand !
Here's hoping things melt for you soon.
