Plows, brooms, brushes stand at the ready
With the storm approaching, crews both on the streets and for air traffic were already prepping for what's coming.
The Omaha Airport Authority shared with Channel 6 News its plans in keeping the airport open for planes to take off and land.
It’s the calm before the storm, but airplanes loaded with passengers lined up to take off Friday night before the impending winter storm hit the metro. Inside winter operations at Eppley Airfield, large snowplows, blowers and brushes stood at the ready to start moving snow.
Tom Swanek, field maintenance manager with the Omaha Airport Authority, says, "We are ready, we've got a tenacious group of guys, great equipment and we are ready to go."
