Tune in here to this ​Thursday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about the calm before a potentially dangerous winter storm and the growing concerns facing the Charlotte region as ice and freezing rain loom. Early forecasts calling for snow have shifted toward a more serious concern: sleet and freezing rain, with potentially up to three-quarters of an inch of ice accumulation.

Later Jensen dives into the city’s detailed game plan for handling the approaching winter storm, sharing firsthand information from a Charlotte Department of Transportation press conference CDOT Deputy Street Superintendent Alfred Oyoyo, who explains how crews have already begun pre-treating roads, bridges, and culverts with salt brine ahead of the expected ice and sleet. Jensen breaks down how the city will move into a 24-hour, all-hands-on-deck operation once the weather hits, with crews working in rotating 12-hour shifts.
