Students who didn't get out of school on time are stuck there now. News is reporting roads are impassible in many places, and students will be sleeping at many schools, especially in the northern metro area where they didn't expect snow. Snow is winding down, and should end in the next hour for good in Atlanta. Slushy roads are quickly turning into sheets of ice, and many accidents are being reported.
I feel bad for those kids! I couldn't imagine being forced to sleep at school, but parents cannot get there to pick them up, and busses can't get out. We currently have 1 inch of snow in the city, 1-2 inches throughout the area. Most businesses have closed for good, and will be closed through tomorrow.
People abandoning their cars on the side of the road, opting to walk home if they got close enough. 1.5 inches have accumulated in Atlanta, and all the slush has turned into ice.
Man more scenes like this all over the southern states.
