OKLAHOMA CITY -- Leaders in Oklahoma City call it the hardest snow storm they've ever had to fight. City crews continue working in rotating 12 hour shifts, 24 hours a day.
While city crews focus on major snow routes, the city has already gotten plenty of complaints from residents that their neighborhood streets are still a mess. City leaders say that's unavoidable given their resources.
Aside from private contractors, the city only has 30 trucks, 60 plow drivers and 13 thousand miles of streets in the city. "We've had calls that this response has been inadequate. I agree. I don't have the resources to give an adaquate response," says Mike DeGiacomo.
The cleanup has been complicated by the fact that the city had to tow more than 150 cars and trucks that were abandoned during the storm.
