Randy, for Atlanta that probably _was_ the storm of the century!
I remember one snowy morning in Charleston, SC -- we had a dusting that was completely gone by 9am. The whole town was shut down for the whole day. It was amazing. Having been raised in North Idaho, I didn't even think twice about it. I guess a lot of other folks panicked, didn't show up to work, etc....
Oh, and the road crews -- they heard somewhere that when it snows, you should put gravel on the road. Well, they didn't have gravel trucks, or salt trucks, but they did have dirt trucks.
It took weeks to clear all the mud off the roads!
