Chipper Jones rescuing Freddie Freeman was pretty cool though.
I feel bad for all those people who were stranded though. Who knows why they were out there...just wouldnt see me out there when they tell your not to be out and about.

It will get to maybe 39. But the wind chill will still be in the low to mid 20's... And it wont be above freezing for a long enough time to melt enough away. IMO/
Wind chill has nothing to do with the moisture remaining frozen or not.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to catch that.

The forecast for Atlanta was tricky. The area south of Atl was in warning area. Atl was in a winter weather watch on Mon, downgraded to a weather advisory at 11 pm Monday then upgraded to a warning at 5 am on Tue. At that point the schools should have been closed but were not. Schools and business decided to close early and all the traffic hit the streets at one time. Curfew would have not made a difference as most of the stranded have been there since late afternoon early evening. This is the worse case of lack of awareness and lack of preparation of govt officials I have seen. All news reports on Mon were about how the DOT were going to stay on top of clearing the roads since the 2011 storm was not handled well. This is worse than 2011.

The curfew placed on the parish is now lifted at 6am and will be reinstated at 7pm tonight, we will once again keep this curfew until we can verify safe passage on the roads.

I blame it on leadership,, or more so, lack of leadership..
very similar to an event that happened in our state in the "not so long ago" file.

That's not entirely true and I don't think that's what he meant. Wind chill can indeed speed up the process of frozen precipitation on roads by lowering the surface temp. Roads don't become immediately frozen just because the temp drops below freezing, the road has to indeed undergo a tempature change. Maybe that's what he meant; and wind chill can make any surface or object cool faster

Is there enough time for the ice to melt, then dry up before the temperatures fall back down below freezing today?
Posted on 1/29/14 at 10:01 am to longhorn22
The sun just came out in Slidell.

Actually the opposite. The cabin fever is setting in.
