| What Year Was The Ice Storm In Atlanta |
The Day Atlanta Became an Ice Rink
Imagine this: It's Atlanta. You're not expecting snow, let alone ice. But there it was, a slippery, treacherous blanket covering the city. Cars turned into sculptures, people turned into ice skaters (well, sort of), and the entire city transformed into a winter wonderland... the kind where you can't leave your house.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
It was like a scene out of a disaster movie, but without the dramatic music and heroic rescues. It was more like a really bad episode of Survivor where the biggest challenge is getting to the grocery store for bread and milk.
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Lessons Learned (or Not)
You'd think after a major ice storm, Atlanta would be prepared for the next one. But nope! It's like they forgot to write it down in the city's "Things to Remember" book. Fast forward a few years, and we get another taste of winter wonderland. Clearly, someone needs to remind the city that snow and ice exist, and that maybe, just maybe, they should have a plan for it.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.

So, what did we learn from this icy ordeal? Well, we learned that Atlantans are surprisingly resourceful. People came together to help each other, formed impromptu snow forts, and even had snowball fights (probably indoors). We also learned that the city's infrastructure is about as prepared for winter as a swimsuit is for a blizzard.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
