If you woke up today in your bed instead of in the aisle of a grocery store, Home Depot, or your school gym, you’re lucky enough not to be a denizen of Atlanta stranded in snow storm rare for the area.

Here are some of the more dramatic pictures from Atlanta residents posted on Twitter:



The mad rush began at the first sight of snow: Across the Atlanta area, schools let out early and commuters left for home after lunch, instantly creating gridlock as highways surrounding the city that rarely see snow were converted into treacherous paths of ice.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said late Tuesday that state troopers were being sent in to rescue students stranded at schools with their teachers, hours after schools were dismissed early. Many children were stuck in schools into early Wednesday…






While such amounts barely qualify as a storm in the north, it was enough to paralyze the Deep South. Many folks across the region don’t know how to drive in snow, and many cities don’t have big fleets of salt trucks or snowplows. Hundreds of wrecks happened from Georgia to Texas. Two people died in an accident in Alabama.
























Hang in there, Atlanta, we’re revving up our SUVs so the global warming will come to your rescue!
