Damn, 6 inches is impressive, that has to shut down your town, hell we get 6 inches here in Lexington and city shuts down...

That's what SHE said.....

We always laugh because a river separates WV from Kentucky, but when we get a pile of snow roads are still open and it's got to be real bad to close schools, but Boyd County on the KY side gets a snowflake and they call in the national guard.

Remember Atlanta from a couple of years ago when one inch of snow paralyzed the entire city?

Hell we had .25 inches Saturday and the whole state was shut down, people were going nut on lack of salt trucks out...

When the snow hit around noon on a Monday, millions of people got on the road at the exact same time and all of them tried to get to the schools to pick up their kids and/or hit the store. Had the snow come 6 hours earlier or 6 hours later, things wouldn't have been nearly as bad.

We got far more snow on Friday, but they handled school closings and road prep much better. I heard some people were in traffic for a couple of hours on Fridsy, a vast improvement over 2014, when people were in traffic for 8 hours or more and countless people eventually abandoned their cars and walked.

I do not know what caused the tie up. I just know that my entire Roswell and Alpharetta side of the family had to leave their cars on the interstates and could not even get to the road 400

It was entirely poor planning. In partial defense, I don't think there's been another Atlanta snowstorm that hit in the middle of the day on a weekday(until last week), but I had friends that work in the city that posted photos from their office windows and by 1pm traffic was gridlocked in all directions.

It even snowed in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Here's a photo fron UT-Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg (less than 20 miles from the Mexican border):
