To say that it has been cold in the Atlanta Metro area for the last week in an understatement. The snow and ice that accumulated last Sunday night persisted all week as air temperatures barely reached the freezing mark.
Finally today it warmed up enough to clear up most of the remaining ice on the roadways, which in some cases was several inches thick.
As regional municipalities debate over what more could have been done to have averted the disaster, the fact remains that we are not equipped to deal with widespread icing and we will probably not change much in the way of preparation for these once-in-a-decade kinds of storms.
It’s still early in the year and we could get more winter storms but it is unlikely that we will experience the severity of the conditions that we have endured over the last week.
And I for one, hope that we don’t!
