and I spent a decade up north (Philly, jersey and NYC)

Its really awesome how at the slightest pretense of harsh conditions the city breaks out with all the proper equipment while your still asleep so you wake up to perfectly passable roads on 90% of your route. What fun!

Yeah, not what happens here when our once-every-hundred-years storm hits int he middle of the day, nobody told us it was coming and we have no machines to take care of anything.

Y'all dont deal with THAT scenario so you are talking out of your ass

I was driving from Athens to Atlanta the Tuesday of the big storm to get to GSU, and I started hearing reports of people abandoning their cars on the interstates, and I was like "fuck that noise," turned around in Loganville and made it back home before it got too bad. I couldn't leave my neighborhood until Friday, and barely even then, with all the ice and no chance of a salt spreader or snow plow in sight. The last big snow storm was in 2010, but it was over the weekend and people were not stuck on the roads, just like how it was last week: yeah the city was shut down for three days, but people were prepared and it wasn't as bad.
