Nearly three years ago we were reminded how detrimental a snow storm can be in Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Icy weather conditions resulted in thousands being stranded, including students in schools, and empty vehicles on the highways looked like a scene out of a movie. Sadly, the storm even resulted in deaths from traffic accidents. As seldom as it is for that type of weather to hit our region, it\u2019s hard to be fully prepared for its magnitude. Cobb County has already cancelled school in this early new year due to road and travel conditions from icy weather. And metro areas are being warned of possibly sleet again this weekend, even snow in far northern areas of Georgia. While it\u2019s not expected to get as bad as what was experienced in 2014, the dangerous conditions on the roads remain the same. Driving in snow, ice or sleet is not something we deal with often in our area, so it\u2019s best to plan and stay prepared. Below are some tips to keep you and others on the roadways safe throughout the winter.<\/p>\n
