   As someone who survived 8 winters in #Chicago, I mean this in the nicest way possible: the average IQ of Atlantans on the road drops 5-10 points when it snows.

   #Atlanta

     @ahelwer @paninid we have very little salt and sand and the trucks to spread them. There are a couple of trucks that brine the streets ahead of time, but they focus on highways and overpasses.

     My favorite videos are when we see those trucks sliding down a hill on ice.

     @paninid not much IQ can do about having zero traction, this is why cities salt & sand so roads don’t do the melt/freeze thing
