As much as four inches of snow fell over parts of the South today, leaving a wake of destruction in its path — thousands of flights were canceled, Georgia is currently in a state of emergency, and students are stranded in schools across multiple states. If you have any horror stories from your commute home, feel free to share them in the comments below.

UPDATE 9:38 AM: Commuters in Atlanta are still trying to make their way home; at this point, some of them have now been on the road for more than 19 hours. With all of the city's major highways and roads in gridlock, many drivers took to CVSs and grocery stores for overnight shelter.

And traffic still isn't moving in some areas.

The original post from last night is below.

In Georgia and Alabama, officials said that hundreds of students are spending the night in classrooms or gyms. Home Depots across Georgia are accepting stranded drivers to stay over night.

But even they're faring better than some Atlanta residents who faced commutes as long as ten hours:

Not that residents of other states are having an easier time — there were more than 300 car accidents reported in Texas.
