SUMMARY: Georgians recall the 1993 blizzard and 2014’s “Snowjam,” the latter blamed on poor planning. This time, officials, including Gov. Brian Kemp, were prepared. The Department of Transportation treated over 20,000 miles of roads and 770 tons of salt were used on bridges. Over 300 snowplows cleared roads, and state offices were closed early. Unlike in 2014, when Gov. Nathan Deal was slow to act, Kemp declared a state of emergency promptly. Officials are focused on staying ahead of the storm to avoid the issues that arose from abandoned cars and delayed response in 2014. Power outages are also a concern.
