This doesn't usually happen in Atlanta

For those of you who can't believe that Atlanta was shut down by a little snow, check this out. Bear in mind as you watch these videos that Peachtree Street is THE MAIN DRAG in downtown Atlanta. Notice not only the ice but the complete and utterly amazing lack of traffic. I've never seen Peachtree Street so deserted.

Let me just say: This doesn't usually happen in Atlanta!!! Normally I take my "I'm from the North!" attitude and laugh at the incompetent drivers. But I don't care where you are or where you're from, that is slippery. And Atlanta has more hills than people realize.

Of course, there is another possibility. Maybe I'm just getting soft after living down south for too long. :)
