Amen. I don't fly into ATL much anymore but I did do the sidestep from the 27L ILS to 27R landing through a low cloud layer in the middle of the night a couple of years ago. You are instantly high on profile from the difference in thresholds and I kept asking 'does this look right?'.
ATL this morning was clear (cold but clear) so low cloud and RVR shouldn't have been an issue. Not making an issue and am SO glad that all on board are safe. Thereby but for the grace...... I bet the pax didn't even notice that they had not landed on the runway.
