Speaking of snow snarling traffic, I spent a year living in Atlanta. One of my clearest memories was sitting at my desk as a consultant at a large corporation, when a regular employee walked by saying "...it's snowing in Birmingham, (Alabama, more than two hours away at normal driving speeds). I'm out of here...". The snow by the way melted immediately on hitting the streets, the evening commute took 6 hours., normally it took 20 minutes.
