re: What snow does to Birmingham, AL (surrounding areas)

I don't get it... I grew up in Colorado where road conditions get far worse than this... Why can't these people handle the road conditions? I know that these states don't have the equipment that Colorado does... But there were many times when the roads were this bad and I never saw anything like this. Is it simply that y'all don't know how to drive in these conditions?

I'm about worn out from the comments about "knowing how to drive in the ice" from these snarky Northerners.
Atlanta and Birmingham were a clusterfrick because everyone was let out of schools and businesses at the same time, then there were a few accidents due to ICY conditions, and everything came to a halt.
Bottom line is that no one is adept at driving on ice, even someone from up north. 1 inch of snow is irrelevant - it is about the ice. Take you're bullshite elsewhere. /rant.

Many people in CO have vehicles that can handle icy conditions in addition to having more experience.
I've got a RWD car that I don't put snow tires on in winter, that is usually parked from Nov. to April. I put studded snow tires on the other vehicle.

This is what the 280 corridor going into Bham looks like on a average day:
97k cars a day travel that part of the road on average. Throw in the fact it's hilly/mountainous terrain. Just takes a handfull of idiots out of 97k people to clusterfrick the whole area.
