OKLAHOMA CITY, (KOKH) — The aftermath of the snowstorm that started Friday night and lasted through Saturday left Oklahomans with frigid temperatures and piles of snow.
Many Oklahoma school districts are closed. See an updated list of closures here.
It is recommended that drivers stay inside as crews work to clear roadways. For updates and images from ODOT snow plows, visit OKRoads.org or OKSnowplows.org.
Oklahoma Public Works and Operations said it has all plows up and running, and all the snow routes have been plowed, even if it does not look like it because of the snow cover.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management is asking residents and business owners who have been affected by the winter storms to report online at damage.ok.gov.
Beaneighbor.org, through the Oklahoma Healthcare Authority, provides access to local support, including financial assistance, shelter and warming center locations, food pantries, medical care, and other free or reduced-cost help.
