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.
I keep reading about snow.
There wasn't snow.
It was ice.
Yankees can drive on snow.
No one can drive on ice.
Ever since then, the brine trucks have been active. We most likely will never have an incident like that ever again. Brine is the magic juice for an icing like that.

No. Winter precip in GA typically starts with rain, before switching over to freezing rain or snow. Whatever saline you put on the road is washed off or significantly diluted before the frozen precip even starts.
