2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicolus Lovene, Atlanta Resident:
"This is the highest it’s ever been. It’s like three inches of snow. We live really close by in midtown so we just came down to see the effects of it on the city and it’s pretty amazing. We’ve never seen this much snow."

++PARTIALLY COVERED BY SHOTS 3; 5-6++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Kelsea Bond, Atlanta Resident:
"Something I’m kind of concerned about is the water pipes that burst earlier this summer. I’m a little concerned about how they’re going to hold up during the snow storm. I think in general we’ve seen really extreme weather these past few years. Like this summer had record heat. It was 96 and above for multiple days this summer, and now we’re seeing snow, so I’m a little bit worried about the city’s ability to handle the impacts of climate change as the years go on ."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Kelsea Bond, Atlanta Resident:
"It happens maybe every 5 to 10 years. I remember there being a big ‘snowpocalypse’ when I was in high school and another one when I was in college, but it’s pretty rare. It’s a big deal when it’s this much snow in Atlanta."

STORYLINE:
A powerful winter storm that dumped heavy snow and glazed roads with ice lumbered eastward into southern U.S. states Friday, making for dicey travel and a rare snow day for many students.
School was canceled for millions of children across a wide tract of southern states from Texas to Georgia and as far east as South Carolina.
More than 1 million public school students in metro Atlanta and north Georgia got a snow day or were at home learning online.
After a disastrous snowstorm in 2014 that left thousands of Atlanta-area workers and schoolchildren stranded overnight away from home, officials in Georgia were quick to cancel in-person classes and close offices Friday.
"This is the highest it’s ever been. It’s like three inches of snow. We live really close by in midtown so we just came down to see the effects of it on the city and it’s pretty amazing. We’ve never seen this much snow," said Atlanta resident Nicolus Lovene on walk Friday morning.
Georgia emergency officials said they learned lessons from past Atlanta ice storms. During this storm, crews are towing vehicles stalled in the snow, which was a massive problem during past ice and snow storms when interstates and roads became clogged with stalled cars and trucks, said James Stallings, director of Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
