The National Weather Service is warning that another blast of rain, sleet, and snow may be headed for the Deep South later today, and authorities are urging Atlantans to be off the roads by early evening.

Gov. Nathan Deal has also specifically asked truckers to stay out of Atlanta's "perimeter" — the area inside the loop around the city formed by Interstate-285.

Deal and other Georgia officials are trying to avoid a repeat of what happened during the last week of January, when snow and ice hit Atlanta and thousands of drivers were forced to abandon their vehicles as roads became impassable, iced-over parking lots.

Do you drive in Atlanta often? What’s been your experience there?

Wherever you’re driving today, please make Safety your #1 priority!
