Winter Conditions Lead to Multiple Car Crashes in Georgia

The Peach State is not exactly known for snowy roads. In fact, Georgia often goes years without seeing any snowfall. However, snow can be particularly dangerous in Georgia when it does decide to fall. In fact, you might argue that its rarity is what makes it so dangerous.
