I hoofed it in the Snowjam of 1982 over 5 miles from the Veteran's
hospital to Memorial Dr.  Cars had blocked all lanes at the hospital
trying to get up the hill.  I decided I would not do this again.  I
made it; but, I ruined a nice suit and shoes.

Yesterday, I watched Ch.2's weather radar.  It was showing heavy snow
where no snow was falling.  It was subliming before hitting the
ground.  Suddenly heavy show was reported in the NW.  I watch traffic
bunch up on I-75 for an hour and decided to split Buckhead at 12:30
pm.  The snow started when I hit the interstate.  My dashcam:

The snow had a hypnotic undulating motion which was freakin' drivers.
They insisted on driving slow although there was no hazard.  I made it
outside the perimeter highway as traffic began to collapse.  It was
like I was being chased by a tsunami.

I got home to Suwanee in 45 minutes.  It would have been a different
story had I waited another half hour to leave.
