Public Service Company of Oklahoma says they aren't expecting any widespread power outages, but they're prepared if they do.

PSO says they have about 900 customers with outages in Tulsa.

OG&E has about 480 customers waking up without power Sunday morning in Norman because of the weather. PSO says they're also coordinating with local emergency management officials just in case. They have about 800 employees and contract workers in different locations across the state.

They say the extremely cold temperatures and wind chills could slow response and restoration time to any outages that do occur. They say with dry snow, they don't anticipate the outages because it doesn't create as much extra weight on power lines as wet snow or ice.
