John Daniels walks in front of his salt truck at GDOT's maintenance activities center where workers are preparing for possible snow this weekend, Thursday in Forest Park.
Right now, questions are plaguing the minds of many Fulton County residents.
What if it doesn't even snow here? Did I get enough bread and milk? Is MARTA service going to change?
