He is preparing bridges and overpasses from I-20 north.
He is advising everyone going to Athens for the Dawgs celebration to not stay overnight but drive home saturday. Counties as far south as middle GA will be impacted. Hunker down guys and gals. |

Just send Stacey Abrams walking down the highway giving a speech and all that hot air will melt anything

GA DOT was out spraying de-icing liquid from tanker trucks escorted by snow plows in my area today. It was 58 degrees and very sunny. What would that do for weather on Sunday? I would imagine it would all be washed away or evaporate before any snow or ice comes along. Not sure how that works?

We came from PA so this is no big deal for us... but it is entertaining to see everyone in a panic trying to prepare for armageddon.
We are always prepped and ready to hunker down here anyway. I dont want to be anywhere near a road if it gets slick. Most folks in GA cant even drive a straight line when it rains. |

The Birmingham, Al area will be shut down. But everything North and South will be fine.

Southern ice is a much more treacherous form of ice. I learned it here in GD.

The drivers around here act like retards under the best of circumstances.
If it snows, I'm just going to have to burn vacation. |

Quoted: It's only an emergency to elitist southerners who think they are special. To everyone else. Its just winter... View Quote I hear things like that from all the people up north who moved south over the last 25 years. Then when it snows the first time, they all go about their mornings heading out in their AWD Land Rovers, Subarus, and Audi's and immediately slide off the road at the first turn. They don't seem to understand that AWD does nothing when the snow melts during the day and refreezes as black ice overnight. |

I've been to Georgia when it snows and there is ice on the roads. He ain't wrong.

I was stranded at home for 3 days with no power and the only way in was by sherman tank or helicopter. Brutally cold. Brrrrr |

Quoted: Southern ice is a much more treacherous form of ice. I learned it here in GD. View Quote Most of our winter storms are freezing rain/sleet. We don't have winter tires down here. Many cars don't even have all-season tires and summer tires harden up and lose all traction below 40 degrees. It's easier to just stay off the road a few days until it melts. |

In before this turns into a shitshow like last winter in Texas when pipes froze and burst because nobody ever built for the weather that they pretty much never get? Blizzards when it's supposed to be eighty are some real shit.
