Now I was not in Atlanta but where I am (About an hour and change away) we got snow too.. I had no problem..
There are several things one can do to cope with snow and 2 or 3 inches is, basically, nothing to get all that excited about if you are grew up where I grew up (Many of you have the name of the town I grew up on in your tow vehicles.. On the Trailer Brake Controller,,, TEKONSHA).
First: SLOW DOWN.... I mean we normally drive too fast, Far too many speed up to get home before it gets worse... And end up going instead to their eternal reward. Second... Following too close.. I was taught a 2 second rule, today they have upped it to 3, and that's on good roads. on bad roads. ADD SECONDS. So I'm on my way to Atlanta last week (Friday) and I notice a couple of cars so just for fun I timed it.. Proper One thousand One, One thousand Two, One thousand 3.
I got to One thou... that was all folks.. FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE for sure.
(I was running about 3-4 seconds on good roads.
Now understand, In MICHIGAN I have watched traffic as it approaches an object (Stove) Lying in the road.. I can tell you we all found it very entertaining Best TV show we had watched in a long time, and what's more it was LIVE.
(you can watch the same cameras, only difference is we had tilt/pan/zoom/focus/exposure and more control over them,,, You do not.. And when we are using one you can't see it, you can only see the ones on standby. http://michigan.gov/mdot and foll the roads and traffic link to traffic cams in teh Detroit area).
Next is no sudden anyhthing.. No heavy braking or acceleration cause.. They won't work.
Finally is tires.. Now most folks here in the sunny south get sunny south summer treads, Nice smooth quiet ride, NO TRACTION.
Me... Well.. Think Kelly Navigator 800's that's about my favorite tire class. This is a nice all season tire, Dang near a snow tire.
