South side and mountain brook are a complete disaster. I bet there are 2500 abandoned cars between university and bcc
I just drove through Mtn Brook village, up to 280 and made it to the regions red light and hit a wall of 18 wheelers. Turned around back to the office. Anyone in B'ham heard how the interstates are this morning? thinking of going red mtn to 59 to 459 then hit 280 and making it as far as I can then walking the rest of the way.

My stepdaughter and her husband live in ATL. My stepdaughter spent the night in Acworth with 26 coworkers at their office. It took her husband 4 hours to get home but he made it.
A friend who is 3 weeks from her due date tried for 6 hours to make it home and finally made it to a Hyatt only to be able to sleep on a sofa in the lobby! Crazy stuff!

Same thing here in birmingham. The state had diverted all our snow plows, sand trucks etc. down south where all the snow and ice was expected

It's a madhouse. Cars abandoned. Kids stuck on buses and at school. And the governor has the nerve to say it was unexpected

What happened in Atlanta and Birmingham reminds me of the saying I try to think about when things are not going well -
If it's bad just remember that it could be worse - much worse.
Good luck to everyone out there in getting things back to normal. You are in my thoughts. It will get better and life is still good,

This is why the DC area shuts down
It took thousands of people stranded over night in 2010 for the govt's to realize, better safe than sorry

I'm as anti-government as it gets, but it was unexpected.
If it was expected, all those people would not be sitting out there.
What should the "government" (evidently your big brother and keeper), have done?
The populace panicked.

They have been at 75 and 285 since 1:30 yesterday with no food, water or, more importantly, no medicine. 911 services have been called long ago and never came. This really is an emergency.
Just damn. Lots of posts like this on the snowedoutatlanta FB page.

Ask any weather person, it wasn't unexpected. The city needs a much better emergency management team if they are claiming this was unexpected.

It was reported for 4 days. How the frick it that unexpected?

Apparently it must be because my flight through ATL this morning was cancelled.

It was expected to hit south Alabama. It came north about 3 counties. Hoover people: how's the Bluff Park area?

I'm stuck on 280

I live up here and feel I lucked out. I am roughly 60 miles from work. It took me five and half hours to get home last night. There are co-workers who live within seven miles or work and they took even longer away. I took back roads and though even more icy the road was wide open to drive slow and make progress.

Where's the guy who was saying Louisiana was a bunch of pussies for shutting everything down in advance of this?

I live in the burbs north of ATL and it took me 7 hours to get home last night. 13.9 mile commute. I walked the last 6.

I'm seeing on FB that a guy I know has been stuck on the interstate in ATL since 2:00pm yesterday. Still hasn't moved

It is truly a disaster. Looks to be thousands of abandoned cars on the freeways.
