Traffic jam woes in Atlanta post-storm compared to 'The Walking Dead'

The comparisons showed up on Facebook and Twitter almost immediately after the traffic jams began: the winter storm mess we've experienced Tuesday into Wednesday resembles the zombie apocalypse featured on AMC's "The Walking Dead" - minus the zombies, I hope.

The popular drama, shot now mostly in Senoia, returns for the second half of season four Feb. 9.

Here are a few recent Tweets with attached photos:

The only thing this video from Atlanta is missing is zombies. Wow, what a crazy traffic accident - https://t.co/QZejP95l0d #walkingdead

Indeed, the way cars were strewn about on highways after commuters abandoned them were similar to scenes on the show, now in its fourth season. Here's a sample from season two:
