the metro Atlanta area is funny that way. It's too warm to keep snow on the ground, but at night the temps dip back down into the 20s, so everything that melts during the day refreezes overnight.
Up until snowpocalypse in 2012 or whenever that was our county only had 1 salt truck. We certainly aren't rural. A portion of our county has an Atlanta address.
We now have those salt depots/domes off the highway now in a few spots.
this storm was strange because it completely missed the north part of atlanta. We got flurries.
