NBC/TWC was hyping this as the worst in a century - I thought I remembered some Gulf Snow Storms alot worse in 2009, so I thought I'd take a look.


So how bad is it compared to last 5 years?

A lot more ice this go around it appears.

Quote: ATLANTA (AP) - A winter storm expected to settle into the Southeast
Tuesday has already prompted the cancellation of thousands of flights
throughout the region.

Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton says more
than 840 flights with Atlanta connections have been canceled Tuesday
beginning at 11 a.m. Talton says that 1,850 flights have been canceled
system-wide. Delta officials say passengers traveling through Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, the Carolinas and Texas may
make free one-time changes to their tickets.

Southwest Airlines spokesman Brad Hawkins says about 80 flights departing from Atlanta have already been canceled for Tuesday.

Hawkins
says the number represents about half of the airline's flights
departing Atlanta, and impacted passengers have already been notified.
Hawkins says the airline has canceled about 360 scheduled departures
system-wide on Tuesday.
