It’s no secret that us southerners do not “do” snow and ice very well. ? In fact, we don’t do it all!

The dusting of snow may not look like much to you northerners but it’s the melting snow and ice and refreezing water on the roads that lead to treacherous driving conditions.
This is what #Atlanta roads should look like today – Empty. Stay home – https://t.co/iaVrmaiRU6 #SnowLanta pic.twitter.com/JYJrbayxJB

Roads are impassable, schools are closed… but it’s a winter wonderland nonetheless…
What's it like to drive through snow and ice in normally balmy Atlanta? Come along for the ride. #atlantasnow https://t.co/ouCeqwNV2x pic.twitter.com/1uGmKHtyxI

The interstates are improving but watch out on the side streets especially inclines https://t.co/iaVrmaiRU6 #Atlanta pic.twitter.com/1TGTOLfFU3

The @Cityofatlanta will continue to treat roads & bridges around the clock until roads are clear. 176 tons of salt & 48,000 gallons of brine used since 11pm Monday night. #Atlanta snow pic.twitter.com/66QZi4ja4r
