The Atlanta snow storm was one of the stranger weather related stories so far this year. The south isn’t used to getting the white stuff, so when a surprise snow storm hit the city, it caused widespread panic.
AMC’s The Walking Dead is renowned for using realistic depictions of the places that the characters are inhabiting, albeit in a zombified outbreak kind of way. One of the big locales in The Walking Dead is Atlanta and one particular image from the series has always been popular.
The picture of Rick riding a horse down the wrong side of the road while people frantically try and escape the city is has been shown to be almost exactly like what happened in the freak snowstorm, minus Rick himself, of course. An Atlanta snow storm may be just as bad a zombie epidemic.
