It is just ridiculous to blame anyone in Atlanta (and any other affected areas in the south) for the lack of salt trucks or plows...for such a rare event.
That's right. For all the flaws the city government has around here (and they are numerous), griping because there isn't a fleet of snow trucks that would only get used every 5-10 years (there was zero snow accumulation here in 2012-2013) isn't close to the top of the list.
Now, where they really screwed up was not making a push to get everybody (especially school kids) home and off the roads before this started yesterday. I left my office as soon as I saw snow was falling in the northern 'burbs, and had no trouble at all. Obviously an awful lot of other people didn't get that option, and the place is a disaster as a result...
