    Either treat the roads entirely or completely shut everything down so we don't have to beg our employers to stay home. It's probably costing everyone more money getting into all these accidents.

      @@ronp-eb9bh true, I mean, it's cold, freezing and this frozen custard shop in Newnan was open, who is buying ice cream in this weather??? They waited until the very last minute to send their employees home, and most of their employees are older teens and young adults who probably don't have a clue how to drive on icy roads. I understand they are not making money if they close, but I think human life is more important than their bank accounts. People are just greedy and lack empathy these days.

      😂😂 People should use common sense and drive. If someone can not drive in this little bit of snow, should NOT have their license.

    Some jobs still expected employees to show up for work but we don’t all have snow chained tires or wings to fly.

      No. Ga drivers aren't prepared like northerners. I was stuck in it yesterday. Thank God I had some masking paper rolls in my truck bed. I used the paper to get off the ice patch. It was a real mess out there. There were cars down the embankment, in people's yards, and wrapped around signs and hydrants. If told to stay home ... STAY HOME!!

    I’m in Ohio and I live on top of hill. For future reference, no car can get up an icy hill. It’s iffy on a salted icy hill. Only try the hill when so much salt has been used that it actually melts the ice and the road surface is ice free.

    I barely was able to make it to work and I live in the area shown in the video... I plan on getting a hotel room close to work because I don't want to risk my life or car getting back home. My poor cat will have to go without food and my workplace in cobb county didn't even inquire about my situation!

    Jesus Christ North Deshong and Rockbridge road looked like an apocalypse. People abandoning there cars walking with there children in hand having to avoid sliding cars, babies in carriers and mothers struggling with the long walk and ice I thought one lady was gonna slip into the ditch and drop her baby. So sad. 😢 I cut through Waters edge and finally made it home.
