DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!! If you remember the freezing conditions we had a couple of weeks ago, I had to drive up to Buckhead and pick my gf up from the restraunt she works at in her Porsche at like midnight ish. Well needless to say there were people sliding all over the connector and to make matters worse, every on ramp and off ramp from University Ave all the way up to 17th street was shut becuase they had frozen over and people were sliding around bouncing off the guard rails because the roads are not taken care of as well down here as they are up north.
