And it’s just, once they came, they came. People kind of knew, we kind of let them know when our truck was gonna be here.

Various of the city's de-icing salt barn 15. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Colbert, Oklahoma City Public Works Department: “Yeah, I’ve been doing this a few days. I’ve been working here doing this since 1982. And up until this predicted storm, the worst one we'd had was in 2009 and was called the blizzard to us. It was the most snow that we’ve had here in history, I believe. And this one is supposed to be pretty close to that. So we learned from that event.” 16. Various of piles of de-icing salt STORYLINE: It was too cold for school in Chicago and other Midwestern cities Friday as a huge, dayslong winter storm began to crank up that could bring snow, sleet, ice and bone-chilling temperatures as well as extensive power outages to about half the U.S. population from Texas to New England. Forecasters warned that the damage, especially in areas pounded by ice, could rival a hurricane. Airlines canceled thousands of flights, churches moved Sunday services online and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, decided to hold its Saturday night radio performance without fans. Carnival parades in Louisiana were canceled or rescheduled. At least 177 million people were under watches or warnings for ice and snow and more than 200 million were under cold weather advisories or warnings. In many places, those overlapped. Utility companies braced for power outages because ice-coated trees and power lines can keep falling long after a storm has passed. “It’s going to be a big storm,” Maricela Resendiz said as she picked up chicken, eggs and pizzas at a Dallas store to get her, her 5-year-old son and her boyfriend through the weekend. Her plans: “Staying in, just being out of the way.” Arctic air is the first piece to fall in place In Bismarck, North Dakota, where the wind chill was minus 41 Fahrenheit (minus 41 Celsius), Colin Cross cleaned out an empty unit for the apartment complex where he works.
