It Could Be Worse...

This winter has been brutal for the Stateline, but a winter storm in the deep south is showing that significant winter weather is all relative.

A perfect example of this is the city of Atlanta. On Tuesday, highways all around the ATL became a parking lot thanks to about an inch of snow. You read that right... one inch of snow.

This timeline shows just how quickly things went downhill. Green represent clear roads, while red represents traffic moving at less than 15mph.

Atlanta Road Conditions: Tuesday
Roads are so bad at the moment that the governor of Georgia has declared a state of emergency for the entire state. But it's not just the Peach State that's getting hammered. As of Tuesday evening, most of the south is under some kind of winter warning or advisory. This may not bring us any relief from the winter we've had so far, but at least we can handle it a lot better! -BA
