"Reflecting on Atlanta's Snowmageddon 10 Years Later"

Ten years ago, a winter storm paralyzed metro Atlanta, leading to thousands of stranded motorists, hours-long commutes, and over 1,000 traffic accidents. With more than 2 inches of snowfall, it took over 18 hours for traffic to return to normal, resulting in at least $10 million in property losses. The chaos prompted Gov. Nathan Deal to declare a state of emergency, and the event served as a stark reminder for Atlanta to take winter weather threats seriously.
