Yeah snow is no bueno unless you're around it a lot. The highway departments in Alabama and Georgia aren't going to pay for the necessary equipment for something that rarely happens. Like I said, in the 4 years I lived in Atlanta it snowed one time for a grand total of about 1 inch. It doesn't surprise me at all that they weren't prepared today and of course the general population suffers for it.

On the other hand, like you were saying, in the past month or so here in Springfield we've had around 17 inches of snow I believe and I have yet to miss a day of work because of it. MDot is absurdly efficient when it comes to getting the road cleared. Them and the good ole boys that attach the plows to their trucks for the fun of it.

Those good ole boys would have had some fun and made some money today, for sure. Every Missouri redneck with 4wd and a blade would have been on the roads!
