Snowpocalpse: Day 2



Kim Daniel walks on Prince Avenue after leaving Athens Regional Medical Center on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 in Athens, Ga. Daniel said she was involved in a car accident along with her father Monday night. Athens continues to dig out from nearly nine inches of snow that turned area roads to ice overnight.

By this point, the main roads had become passable. After walking countless miles the day before, I was willing to risk driving around own and then hopping out of the car to grab shots.




We made a conscious decision to avoid UGA as much as possible as that was where we spend all day Monday. We went up towards the Normaltown area when we parked the car and started walking and instantly found the woman walking in the middle of Prince.

From there we cut across town and hit the Five Points area. One general observation about the entire town - there were a LOT of people out and about. Lots of traffic and lots of pedestrians.
