Atlanta in a snow storm vs Atlanta in the Walking Dead.

So I started from my office around 1pm and reached home at 10.30pm. 9 and a half hours drive for 11 miles. That too for just 2 inches of snow. Amazing. Atlanta cannot take ANY snow.

This is truly amazing. Did people start walking home, leaving their cars stranded on the roadways?

I can't even comprehend this....are people that incapable of driving an automobile down there?

STL isn't a whole lot better at handling a snow.

You could have walked and made it home in half that time.

Wrong...never in my life have I ever seen or heard what's happening in ATL ever happening in STL. Last week traffic was about as bad as I've seen it and it took me 2 hours to go about 25 miles. I'm sure Dill would've loved that.

WALKING DEAD

I agree. Never in St. Louis. The only comparable thing I can remember is Houston and Dallas in the '80s with ice.

I'm cool with what happened in Atlanta. Whatever it takes to get Dill back on the forum!

I recall taking well over an hour to go 7 miles here. It was about an inch of snow. It was the one where MoDot blew off treating the roads -because it wasn't significant enough. It is not ATL-level , sure.

Some school districts have called off 5 days + this year.

Just sayin, jim would laugh if he experienced the STL hysterics over snow.

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

I'm guessing MoDOT is infinitely more prepared than Georgia's DOT or whatever to handle snow. Couple worse road conditions with no experience driving in snow/ice/sleet conditions and, yeah, I guess that's how [expletive] like this happens.
