Icy roads making for dangerous driving in South - Yahoo! News
ATLANTA – Ice-slicked roads created treacherous driving conditions that caused a fatal accident Thursday and delayed school openings across a swath of the country, mainly in the South, while the East Coast braced for more snow.
...is say the word ice and traffic gets snarled. This accident reported above was not in Atlanta but I'm just saying. When I lived in Atlanta - which was a long time ago so maybe things have changed - they closed the schools when the temp got to 32º. That's plus 32. In Duluth it was minus 30, but that was even longer ago when I used to walk two miles to school barefoot and uphill both ways. But maybe things have changed.
Nevertheless we have some ice here from a big rain earlier in the week, but mercifully little of it, and hardly any snow and only "possible" snow in the weekend forecast, so for now at least the really evil stuff (sure it's cold, but so what) hasn't reached us yet here in our pleasant valley. Sooner or later it will but there's no rush.
