As you may well know, Atlanta was shut down for most of the last week with a major snowstorm. Georgia Tech and Georgia State were both closed until mid-day Wednesday, and Emory and the public schools were closed all week.
I am from Utah, so this was hardly the largest snow storm I have ever seen. It was, however, the least managed storm I have seen. I don't fault anyone for this; Atlanta really shouldn't have the snow removal capabilities of Salt Lake. Still, these were the first days I have ever missed school for snow (I'm getting a Ph.D.).
On the bottom of my blog you can see a Google chart showing the relative search frequencies of various transportation-related Google searches over time. Look at how "MARTA schedule" and "Atlanta traffic" have shot up in the last week. Not a lot that's terribly interesting from this, but it's nice to have validation that the system works.
