Last Thursday Atlanta got hit with weather conditions below freezing and 2.5 inches of snow. For many drivers the 10-15 minute commute to work became a 2 hour one. Many drivers even abandoned their cars, more than 3,000 people left their cars. There are still around 2,000 cars that officials have to go and clear from the roads as well. On Tuesdays officials began bringing people to their cars, in 4 wheel drive vehicles. This weather accounted for 10 deaths in the south. 5 in Alabama and the rest in North Carolina and Mississippi. Also, a baby was born during the snow storm because the parents could not reach the hospital in time, they named her Grace. On the bright side temperatures are expected to rise above freezing this week according to the National Weather Service.
