In Oklahoma City, road conditions remain a concern as temperatures stay below freezing. Despite some melting caused by the sun, emergency operations manager Mike Love Jr. of Oklahoma City Public Works warns of potential refreezing. Love Jr. emphasizes the slick conditions and advises against unnecessary travel.
He explains that crews have been working hard to apply salt to roadways and clear snow and ice to promote drying. However, elevated surfaces like bridges pose challenges as they freeze quickly without ground insulation. Love Jr. urges drivers to keep a safe distance from snowplows to avoid accidents.
The warning comes after a close call near Chandler on Tuesday, February 18, highlighting the dangers of driving too close to large snow removal equipment. Love Jr. stresses that safety is the priority for both drivers and road crews.
As temperatures remain low and refreezing is a concern, Love Jr. reminds residents to be cautious and expect slick roads if they must venture out. With the potential for hazardous conditions, drivers are urged to prioritize safety and stay informed of road conditions before heading out. Oklahoma City Public Works continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure the safety of residents during the ongoing winter weather.
