Snow ploughs battle blizzards on roads and runways in Oklahoma
A powerful winter storm has swept across parts of the United States, bringing heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and dangerous travel conditions—especially in Oklahoma, where snow ploughs are working around the clock to keep roads and airport runways open.
The severe weather system is part of a larger storm that officials say could impact more than 200 million people across the country. With blizzard-like conditions reducing visibility and making travel hazardous, emergency services and transport crews have been deployed in full force.
In Oklahoma, crews are battling continuous snowfall to clear highways and ensure that essential services, including air travel, are not completely disrupted. Airports have also seen delays and cancellations as teams struggle to keep runways safe and operational.
Meteorologists warn that temperatures will remain dangerously low, with icy conditions expected to continue as the storm moves across multiple states.
Authorities are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel and take precautions as one of the most widespread winter systems of the season continues to affect large parts of the country.
