Too many yankee transplants in Atlanta. If you grew up in GA you’d know to avoid Atlanta like the plague if there’s even a hint that it might snow.


The real problem was all the businesses in Atlanta letting their employees leave way too late and all at the same time. Put literally every working person in ATL on the interstates at the same time.

Also, IIRC, a lot of forecasts didn’t have us getting snow that day.

My boss at the time was a yankee transplant from CHicago, I told him straight up, man to man, you need to leave now. He played the yankee card "its just a little snow". I said have fun with that, I'm leaving early. I got home just fine. He spent 17 hours getting from Brookhaven to Marietta.

Yankees don't understand that Atlanta doesn't have 700 snow plows and salt trucks like Chicago, Kansas City, New York, Detroit, Philly, et al, do.
