Headed to a convention in California, students from Barbizon Modeling School in Atlanta, including (front left to right) Luisa Restrepo, Brian Welch and Jeremiah Davison, relax in the baggage claim area of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after a snow storm on January 10, 2011 in Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue declared a state of emergency because of snowfall and ice across Atlanta and Georgia. A winter storm stretched across the Southeast as freezing rain and sleet followed on the heels of a heavy snow that blanketed the region. The students from Barbizon had all their possible flights cancelled to Los Angeles and had been at the airport for the last 24 hours waiting for a flight. Airtran & Delta cancelled all flights out of Atlanta due to icy and snowy weather conditions. (Photo by Jessica McGowan/Getty Images)
