Chipper Jones "rescued" Freddie Freeman (Braves players for those that don't follow sports) on his 4-wheeler. Chipper drove 10 miles on his ATV to get Freddie, who had been in traffic for 11 hours. There are also some great stories floating around. Chick-fil-a and Waffle Houses are feeding people stuck in traffic for free.
In the Savannah area, it's only freezing rain. There is ice everywhere. I almost fell going on my front porch when I let the dogs out. Most businesses did close today, so hardly any traffic on the road...thank goodness. I'm thankful I don't live in the ATL area; and I hope everyone up there is ok.
Living in Tenn. up in the mountains they call off school if it rains, the school buses cannot get up some hills to collect the kids.
Then when I left Tenn to come home on an emergency ir was the Kings birthday in Jan and a freek storm had come in. Each county is responcible for the road conditions and the 50 mile trip to Nasville airport was a hair riser.
10 miles of 18 inch snow on the roads to clean roads in another county.------- Boarded and took off to change flight in Atlanta and they had freezing rain. 2 hour delay to get to Boston. No problem with Boston, it was 45 degrees up here.
The South does not have the snow removal equipment we have, they only get ice and snow every few years. We however expect most anything in the winter and are prepared for it.
I feel so sorry for the Dixie land that gets wolloped with snow and ice, they have no experience dealing with the very freezing cold, especially driving on ice covered with snow.
Good Luck Dixie, may the good lord keep all safe.
