Looks like Atlanta-area leaders and residents are getting an opportunity this week to demonstrate if they learned anything from last month's Carmageddon.

Public officials seem to be erring on the side of caution this time. Best wishes to all in the storm's path.

We may be getting a significant storm in DC on Thursday. I actually needed eggs-bread-milk so got that done at lunch today. So bring it on, Mother Nature!

Gov. Nathan Deal doesn’t want to take any chances after the icy gridlock embarrassed Georgia in late January. He encouraged residents in the storm’s path to “be off the road by early evening” Monday as transportation crews prepare the roads. Deal also asked tractor-trailers, which caused mayhem during the January storm, to steer clear of I-285.

The governor convened his emergency response team at 11 a.m. Monday, including executives from hospitals and utility companies. Deal said he was particularly worried about the “devastating” impact of ice dragging down power lines.
