[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 618746, member: 1967"] I am seeing a lot of online posts from northerners about the stupidity of southerners and their lack of ability to handle 2 inches of snow. What they don't seem to understand is that the roads almost instantly iced over and that Atlanta is very hilly since it is in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. I don't think anyone can drive on steep inclines and declines when they are sheets of ice. Ironically, many of the problems were caused by the big semi's that couldn't handle the icy roads and ended up spinning out and blocking Interstate lanes and entrance and exit ramps. I'm sure many of those truck drivers where from up north. Someone on another forum posted the following comment: Part of that problem was that the roads were not pre-treated despite the winter storm warnings and the schools stayed open thinking that the storm would hit later than it did. Whose fault that was is going to be a great debate in days to come. [/QUOTE]
