Nathan just got shot down by news reporters about saying the weather reports said Atlanta was going to get a "dusting of snow". LOL (Not one weather report I saw on 4 local channels, said that._ The report then showed the Sunday, Monday and Tues a.m. weather bulletins and totally shot him down.
Didn't any of those thousands of people who got stranded have access to those same weather reports?
My area deals with much worse cold and snow every year BUT we don't rely on the government to decide for us when and how we travel; personal accountability for travel plans works up this way, why isn't the same down there? I've kept kids home from school when I felt that it made more sense to do so.
Yes Dan Everyone that chose to check , got the same reports. Personal responsibility plays into it. I would not send my kids to school tomorrow, no matter what was announced tonight. The roads are not clear, cars are still stranded, and the GDOT is still not capable of dealing with this. Yet people were out and driving today to go to coffee shops and see the sights. The same people that can't drive in snow. Cars have been sliding on my street out front, yet they are driving fast down it.
