I don't get the mass hysteria caused by the "reported" 2 inches of snow in Atlanta. 
I saw pictures and videos all over the internet where you could still see grass, and road. 
My whole adult/driving life has been spent in the "south", Virginia Beach, and Manassas VA. 
I've never personally had any issues driving in snow, and cant think of any friends or family who did either. 
We had around 8 inches last week, and I still had to drive my 15 miles to work and 15 miles home, at night, in a mustang. 
The roads were not plowed or treated, and I was driving on top of snow and ice with no issues. 
I've always felt safe driving in the snow as long as you slow down. 
I didn't feel safe driving over 35 miles per hour, so I didn't, and neither did anyone else who wasn't in a big, lifted, southern boy truck. 
I did feel like those people were gonna kill someone though as they zoomed by us, spitting snow into our windshields. 
The only thing I can think of is that these southern folks are not used to even seeing snow, and that just the thought of driving in it gives them so much anxiety they lose their ability to even think clearly. 
That being said, the local and state government screwed the pooch on this one. 
No reason kids should have been in school, knowing they had no way of combating the elements, and business owners in general are pretty bad about closing up shop when there are pennies to be made.
Calling "reported" 2 inches of snow "The Snowpocalypse" = "softnosed" IMO
