The governor of the State of Ga has just declared a State of Emergency, 17 -18 degrees tonight and there are still hundreds of People still on the roads. trying to get home. Hundreds of accidents on the highways. Roads are closed and the ones asking why and laugh are not from the south try going up the hill and they slide back down and shake their heads and say they don't understand. they grew up in areas that had snows for weeks and never had these types of problems. They don't get it Black Ice, on top of Ice, and In Georgia they do not have these snowstorms often and are not going to spend what it would take to get the heaters under the roads like they have up north
Some people who cannot get to their homes within two or three blocks so they are leaving their cars on the sides of the road and walking. It is after 6pm and lots of kids are still at school. At one school there are 200 kids in the gym, 120 in another school, They stopped renting cars and one man has been in traffic 6 hours and is still not home a hour drive usually. A 10 car pile up just over the line in Alabama near hereon a two lane road. This is not good. There are several other pile up and lots of single car accidents and a lot of people are running out of gas where they have been in traffic for several hours. The slush is freezing now and cars cant get up the hills. the traffic is so heavy the sand trucks cannot get to the hills to help. And the snow is still falling.............
