How does the lack of winter weather preparedness in the Deep South, including infrastructure and driver experience, contribute to the potential severity of this storm?

The storm's impact is amplified by frigid Siberian air plunging into the region, causing rapid freezing of any precipitation and creating hazardous travel conditions. Cities like Atlanta, Birmingham, and Charlotte could experience transportation gridlock similar to past severe winter storms. The timing coincides with the College Football National Championship in Atlanta, further complicating travel.
