We have the same problem here in TX.

You have to remember that areas that only see this type of weather occasionally do not have the infrastructure to deal with it.

Few plows, sanders or even a stockpile of sand and salt much less staff that know what to do.

The yearly total average for Atlanta is only 2 inches. In southern states .5-1 inch is no big deal as the sun will take care of it before lunch.

But when you get ice and cloud cover you are totally screwed.
