Atlanta, was spared a second coating after a snowstorm Friday and Saturday that was blamed for hundreds of traffic accidents
Hi guys,
can you please tell me the meaning of"spared" and "coating"?
Snow and ice pelted parts of the South on Monday for the second time in a matter of days, glazing Tennessee highways and reaching into northern Alabama.
But the South’s biggest city, Atlanta, was spared a second coating after a snowstorm Friday and Saturday that was blamed for hundreds of traffic accidents
thanks

spared a second coating = it probably means that Atlanta didn't get a second layer of snow as a result of the snowstorm. (There had already been a (first) layer of snow) btw, welcome to English forums!
