On my GPS every interstate around Alanta is drawn in red and covered with little "blocked" symbols and incident warnings. Twice on the way to work I had to back down a hill and go an alternate route. Once was because a moving truck had gotten all the way to the top of the hill and then stopped for the traffic light, thereby dooming the road to closure.

They better hurry to get out there and shovel it before it melts.

It did NOT come SUDDENLY! Not one bit. Weather forecasters were telling people at least up to the night before.
The fact is and the problem was that authorities and institutions sat on their fat duffs until at least 1 or 2 PM, when it was far to late to be going anyway.
And, when they finally acted, the did it at once - and the roads clogged and clogged. Meanwhile the snow dumped and dumped. No wonder that people are still sitting in their cars this morning.

It’s easier to drive on that than it is a bridge slicked down with smooth black ice as is the case here.

It’s supposed to get up to 33 today ... just enough to smooth the ice out on the roads. As for shovels I’ve got two that have been collecting dust for years waiting for this. I broke them out yesterday. Can’t shovel anything this morning because it’s all solid.

Reminds me of some of the roads where I grew up. The reflectors on the side of the road were on top of 10’ poles.

Snow’s one thing to drive on; ice is a whole ‘nother ballgame and foolish if you even try. When I hear ice in the forecast, I stay off the roads.

That is what it used to look like when we walked to
grade school in Chicago in the winter, nothing but
a cold sweet potato in our pocket for lunch, up hill
both ways.

Just like Katrina...Stupid people...
The idea that 9000 kids had to sleep overnight at school is ridiculous.
What would have happened if the heat had gone off.
Stupid, stupid people.
To: Pan_Yan
Considering that the snow was 3ft. deep and I was only
3ft tall and I had to walk with my little sister, it
was a nightmare.
Some days we only got the potato skin.

Now, to be fair, that sweet potato was hot in the morning when you were walking up hill.
It was to keep your hands warm, because you had no gloves... or pockets.
You had hands, and you were grateful!
