The x factor could be anything
One has to be the local weather forecast.ALL of them got it wrong including Glenn Burns.They all predicted a very slim chance of snow for the city and Northern burbs.The heavier prediction of snow was south of
the city down to central Georgia.
At the very minimum the mess with the schools could have been avoided and I imagine the state and federal workers that flood into the city would have had their work days cancelled.

Went back and read my quotes and am happy I’m consistent.
I grew up in the mountains and sometimes we’d have snow and ice when there was none in the valley. We learned to figure out what was and wasn’t safe to drive in. Even in a front wheel drive, two tires off the road and going slow could get you home.
However, this was when you could get an excused absence from school based on a parent’s common sense and didn’t need an official decree from the school or a doctor as to what was an excused absence.

This.
They all said that the storm basically exploded at the last moment and that the actual system changed direction at the last minute on top of it causing a literal doomsday scenario.
