Shut down my business around 1:00 today. Headed home people here cannot drive on snow. Wife was stranded up town for 3 hours in traffic, went to pick here and her two friends and two kids up. Got home around 4 strictly do to poor drivers in Alabama. Parked cars at Red Lobster for the night
I did the same. Left at 1, my normal 25 minute commute took me 3 hours on the west side of Atlanta. My dad was out in this mess, 80 yrs old and still working, stuck in traffic for over 4 hours. He told me he had never had to pee so bad in his whole life. One of my sisters has been over 6 hours now trying to get home.
Oh well, it only happens once in a blue moon here. Kinda glad they don't spend millions of our tax dollars on snow plows and such to use so seldom. Problem is many of the transplants, the ones who say they can drive in anything, are always complaining about how us Southerners can't drive. It's not us, well not all of us, it is the ice on the road that is a problem I don't care where you're from. I had no problem but I have 4WD and a fresh set of Toyo's on the truck. Actually helped a damsel in distress on the way home, don't ask me why I drove by so many others.
Funny thing, I was sitting in traffic and heard a familiar sound. Some guy on an Electra Glide was motoring up the emergency lane, covered from head to toe in snow and slush. That is a Die Hard HD rider, kudos to him, or maybe a straight jacket.
