Two Inches of Snow

Two inches of snow and a glaze of second guessing turned Atlanta, Georgia into a giant, helpless parking lot. School children stranded in schools, commuters sleeping in cars on the Interstate, and ill-prepared politicians ducking for cover. The snow of 2014. Snowmageddon. Snowpocalypse.

Southerners tend to panic when there's a threat of snow and ice. We can't drive in it. It causes the power to go out. And the paranoia it causes can only be salved by copious amounts of bread and milk.

While the interstate highways around Atlanta were gridlocked with drivers who seemingly had no idea that it might snow and the governor was hastily scheduling a press conference to contend that he was not responsible, I was taking photos. Not great photos. It's difficult to take too many shots in the dark while your Nikon is getting wet with snowflakes.
