Snow is a rare enough event that they have next to no snow-removal equipment. But just thirty miles away, up in the Snoqualmie mountains, where snowfall is a regular event, they do have snow-removal equipment, and they go on as normal, snow or not.Mr. Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-40790535852242163632014-02-01T19:36:27.577-08:002014-02-01T19:36:27.577-08:00"Nobody can drive on a road that is iced over..."Nobody can drive on a road that is iced over."<br /><br />Here in Canada I do it all the time.

The the traffic gridlock is partly a refusal of regional planning but also a refusal of counties like Cobb and Gwinnett to allow MARTA transit into their counties-- again, because they don't want to have an easy channel for black dysfunction to enter their areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-74527385176062802822014-02-01T02:07:33.630-08:002014-02-01T02:07:33.630-08:00Seeing him on TV with the CBS evening news his cag...Seeing him on TV with the CBS evening news his caginess mixed with defensiveness was undeniable. In fact he looked and sounded like a nervous "Judge Judy" plaintiff. It was odd because most officials in the region were caught napping on this one; Reed could have easily adopted the small-time-operator posture (picture some Gallic politician, when a bridge collapses somewhere in Quebec: "Ayyyy wat can you do, guy, ees one ding after anudder").

Se...Steve, you can't blame this on Kasim Reed.<br /><br />Seriously. <br /><br />There wasn't an issue in Atlanta proper, it was all outside Atlanta in the suburbs and surrounding metro areas where people work/live.<br /><br />He could have plowed, cleared out everything in all of Atlanta and it would have done fuck all to alleviate the issues we faced on Tuesday. He doesn't have influence over the schools outside Atlanta. This is why he is frustrated. He's dealing with taking the blame for cities that HATE to be lumped in Atlanta, except now.<br /><br />The interstates were clogged because people left work all at once and were driving too fast for icey/snowy conditions, the state government didn't pre-treat these roads, local governments did absolutely nothing for their roads, so this is what we get. <br /><br />I was in the middle of this. I don't work in Atlanta and I had a 7.5 hour commute home. I work in what you would call the metro-ATL area, the mayor doesn't have control over it. This area fought to keep MARTA out, any semblance of public transportation out. <br /><br />Kaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-11099608639379350472014-01-31T17:46:29.309-08:002014-01-31T17:46:29.309-08:00Atlanta as a metro region is particularly badly se...Atlanta as a metro region is particularly badly set up.
