- View of a MARTA north line construction site during Snow Jam on West Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta, Georgia received over six inches of snow in three days beginning on January 12, 1982. All surface streets and two-hundred miles of highways were immobilized in what became known as "Snow Jam." People were trapped at work or on their evening commute causing cars to be abandoned and people to flee to shelter on foot. It was one of the worst snow storms in the city's history. - Local Identifier:
