Happy ice-pocalypse 2019, my fellow Oklahomans! By now you are probably well aware that Oklahoma is in the middle of a winter storm warning and likely subsequent milk and bread shortage. While many of you are still getting your winter weather news through archaic forms of media like "cable TV" or "Emily Sutton's twitter," I have stumbled across a new and exciting way to stay weather-aware!
Last month, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation drove their Western Pro Plus professional snow plow attachments right into the 21st century by releasing their very own app. While KFOR reports that the app will be great for keeping metro Oklahomans up-to-speed on traffic conditions, I am reporting that when it comes to responsibly using something, you can’t trust us average Okies as far as you can throw us. So here are 5 ways we are probably going to misuse the new ODOT app.
Find snowbanks
The KFOR article states that snow plows will be equipped with real time cameras so viewers can see just how bad the roads are without leaving their homes. Come on, do you really want an app that posts the location of big ass snowbanks across the metro? It’s like the Department of Transportation is putting out a homing device for rednecks who want to get some use out of their muddin’ trucks this winter.
