I can buy the white stuff down the street.
Unfortunately due to 40 being closed, I’ll have to drive through ATL to get to Greenville next week!

75 has a noticeable uptick in traffic; especially on weekends. Give yourself plenty of time since it backs up starting in cartersville.Unfortunately due to 40 being closed, I’ll have to drive through ATL to get to Greenville next week!
The 6z GFS says it gets winter cold right around Halloween. This is the dew points for the morning after (Nov 1):
Now to complain for the name of this thread --- the models have been switching back and forth between a cold/warm pattern for the end of the month. So as we all know, this is just a dream at the moment...

Gonna have some arid,desert dry conditions, so those DP'S Falls Lake are gonna bottom out alot this fall, winter. Lots of maximum radiational cooling nights ahead. I sound like Shettly,but you can see this unfolding from a mile away if the pacific locks in on us , like it appears its getting ready to.
If you took the GFS at face value, Charlotte would end up with its 5th driest october ever. There's basically nothing until halloween.

I can confirm this to be true, as I live off of 75 between Cartersville and Kennesaw. Traffic has been absolutely horrific on 75, especially southbound, starting in Bartow County. Definitely expect delays in this area, and be sure to pack lots of patience! Good luck!

According to the latest Drought Monitor, most of Georgia is not even abnormally dry despite 20 days of no rain !
People trying to get to TN since 40 is shut down.

No, which is what makes it weird. Even without active construction or traffic incidents, it just massively slows down just south of Cartersville, every day for over two weeks. They did do some construction north of Cartersville last spring - I think there are some theorizing that has just negatively impacted traffic flow by funneling more traffic into the highway system without thought for “downstream” impacts.
I definitely think there have been impacts from both hurricanes - we see a lot more Tennessee and Florida license plates recently. But I honestly don’t know what’s going on. We have lived in this area for 20 years and have obviously seen a lot of growth. But it has never been as consistently bad on a daily basis as it has been the last few weeks.
All stations locally are at 0.00” for the month, and we have a chance to finish the month this way.
