JiMGA gets it right, stupidity always wins. That and many people here just aren't used to driving in this weather and have no idea what to do. Also, when I lived in Boston, they were salting streets before the snow hits in anticipation. Everyone here knew it was going to snow for days, it started lightly (near me) around 11:30 or so. By 1pm it was coming down pretty hard and too late. All the snow trucks were stuck because they didn't send them out early. I mean, Emory didn't announce until 12:30 that they were closing at 1 or so, by then the roads were getting pretty bad. Just seems like every time this happens, everyone is completely unprepared and never thinks it will be that bad.
