I have had enough of this %#&@& winter.

My experience with Atlanta is that traffic is generally very messed up during the evening rush even on bright, sunny warm summer's days. It took me 45 minutes to drive less than a mile from my office to the hotel. And folks were doing the craziest things - like forcing their way through gridlocked traffic. The damned traffic is at a dead standstill and a few of these chowderheads apparently believe the best way to get traffic moving is to blow the horn and go against the flow. I seriously thought Chicago traffic was the worst - until I saw that nonsense in Atlanta. Now I completely appreciate my fellow drivers here when the only flip me off in traffic...

I spent all of 2012 driving to New York City pretty much every day and even in the worst of the worst (mid-town Manhattan at 5:00 pm) the New York drivers are the best I've ever seen, no leaning on the horn, no cutting people off just for the heck of it, etc. Yes, there were a few incidents of people behaving badly but on a percentage basis, it was extremely minimal.

I've driven in Chicago too George and it wasn't bad. I think the problem in Atlanta is it's infected with too many non-New York northerners.

The weather up here in Nova Scotia has been relatively mild, -6C (21F for you flatlanders). It's supposed to drop to -8C or so over the weekend for a couple of days.
