You Could Be Ready for Winter Storms – With Backup Power Sources from Anderson Power

The date was January, 2014. The event was strangely called “Snowpocalypse,” even though most of the accumulation in the Metro Atlanta area was Ice. Where were you? If you were anywhere near downtown or Metro Atlanta, you probably have a very distinct memory of where you were, and for how long you were stuck there. Some were stuck on I-20 for 16 hours? Some were locked down on I-285 for 20+ hours? And some folks were jammed in their automobiles 75/85 for 26 hours or more?! Bewildering. Frustrating. Mind-blowing. How in the world did 2 inches of Ice reduce the entire Metro Atlanta area to a level-9, apocalyptic, full-on roadway shutdown?

The recipe for the Snowpocalypse disaster was actually pretty simple:

• Take 5 million people, in business attire, and put them in a centralized location.
• Spend 50 years making the Interstate system as rugged and cumbersome as possible.
• Ensure all government-issued D.O.T. winter supplies have already been given away or squandered.
• Announce a potential wintery mix AFTER the 5 million people have been secured at central locale.
• Send everyone home midday: Including school busses full of children, and LOTS of tractor trailers
• Stir in a solid, ice-rink style sheet of ice over the entire city of Atlanta
• Allow 5 million ill-equipped drivers to traverse into a conglomeration of impenetrable frustration
• Let the whole thing simmer, on ice, for 24 hours. Serve angry and frozen.

On a more serious note, Snowpocalypse did teach Georgians a lot about preparedness. More than anything else, Snowpocalypse 2014 showed Georgians how quickly, and seemingly ridiculously, that a relatively small ice storm can paralyze an entire city. And when powerlines started snapping, guess who couldn’t get anywhere? That’s right! Georgia Power trucks, Greystone Power vehicles, or whichever service repair fleet from your local EMC or power company, they were all just as paralyzed as the fine citizens who were stuck on interstates and other metro roadways.
