Atlanta dodges winter storm, system moves up the coast

Atlanta’s was anti-climactic. Everywhere else was worse. Ask folks along a line from Arkansas to Virginia.

Unlike last year, when city officials were caught completely by surprise, Atlanta was prepared this time. But the storm stayed north of town.

Snowmageddon 2015 it wasn’t.

Just can’t win

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal did his part. He ordered a state of emergency for 51 northern counties.

Authorities were ready too. There were more snow plows, more trucks to spread brine and they were out in force ahead of the bad weather.

And people helped out by staying home or leaving work early.

“DON’T MOCK OUR SOUTHERN SNOW PANIC!” warned Whitney Waddell in Nashville.
