Even a small amount of snow, compressed by traffic and in sub freezing temps forms a zero traction surface. Add in ice and lots and lots of hills, mix with poor decisions by state, city and county leaders that caused every parent and every worker to head for home at the same time and you get the miserable result we've seen.
Oh, and not to forget the thousands of 18 wheelers using I-75, I-85 and I-20 through the Metro area. The end result was gridlock, traffic unable to move for hours and hours and hours on end. On a positive note it also bought out the best in many people helping the stranded!
