A pretty fair assessment of what happened in the ATL yesterday

1)  Weather forecast kept saying the metro was going to get a dusting, and people relied on that, and dialed in a normal day.

2)  The weather forecast was wrong.

3)  People realized the forecast was wrong around 1:00 PM, give or take half an hour, since more than a dusting is already hitting.

4)  Schools all do unexpected early dismissal, and people start scrambling to get back home to meet their tots, or to go pick 'em up at school.

5)  People clog the roads because of #4.  Kids aside, government and private sector employers blow the panic whistle, and tons of people are excused early and add to the congestion.

6)  Roads are clogged, and the folks charged with clearing them have zero access to actually do so.

7)  The roads in the ATL end up looking like something out of TWD.

8)  The population collectively blames politicians for not clearing roads that were so choked with cars, a rabbit couldn't run up them even if a coyote was chasing it.

The ATL usually responds, after adverse weather, by hoarding gasoline and running local gas stations dry, causing further unnecessary panic.  I hope we can skip that this time.
