Another concern for travelers this Christmas day is the winter weather that has pummeled the mid west and Great Plains. NBC’s John Yang tonight on how the middle of the country is digging out. In Oklahoma City, a white Christmas for the record books. More than 14 inches of snow breaking an 85-year-old record and leading the governor to declare a state of emergency. “Nobody here is prepared for this in Oklahoma City.” “We always play for White Christmas, but it seems like we actually little too much!”

 

Despite numerous abandoned vehicles, officials reopened the state’s highways and turnpikes <미> 유료 고속 도로, but discouraged travel.

At the Dallas, Fort Worth airport, airlines and passengers struggled to get back to normal after yesterday’s cancellations. “We’ve been here waiting trying to get on our flight. And it’s not going to happen.” Across the Midwest, winds gusting up to 60 miles an hour blew snow across highways creating hazardous driving conditions.
