Ice......Ice ...Baby......

Spaghetti Junction....sometimes....I take that route.

So glad.......I did not take it this morning.   Of all the roads for the D.O.T. to miss....this one was unforgivable.   

This is "spaghetti junction"......a maze of highway crossroads.....above the ground.    Of course,  these roads would be the first to freeze over......and the D.O.T.......forgets....or simply miss......salting it down?

My.....my.....

A mere 27 car pile-up ensues....

Only in ........Atlanta.
