WEATHER Heavy, wet snow is expected to move across the state starting midday on Friday. This initial wave of precipitation will be followed by snow, sleet, and ice, along with extreme cold temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. STORM PREPARATION EFFORTS • PSO has approximately 1,100 line workers, forestry personnel and support staff strategically placed and ready to respond should outages occur. We have secured more than 200 line workers to complement the readiness of our existing team members. We have requested an additional 200 line workers through our mutual assistance network. • PSO continually prepares for all types of weather throughout the year and regularly conducts storm drills to ensure the PSO team is ready to respond immediately. • Site-specific winterization plans have been activated at our power plants to prepare for the coming weather. • PSO will prioritize protecting the health and safety our customers, the general public and employees during life-threatening cold weather. • SPP is issuing a Resource Advisory for the entire SPP Balancing Authority area, effective Saturday, January 24 from 12:00 a.m. CT until an anticipated end time of Monday, January 26, at 12:00 p.m. CT.

ONLINE RESOURCES • Outage FAQs • Cold weather safety tips can be found on the PSO website here with energy savings tips here. • Storm preparedness before the storm, during the storm, and after the storm. • PSO process for how we restore power SAFETY MESSAGES • Always assume that any downed utility line is energized with deadly electric current. Stay away from the line and do not touch it with anything. Report it to PSO at 1-888-218-3919. • Please do not approach crews and utility vehicles you see in your neighborhood to ask when power will be restored. Doing so could jeopardize your safety. Outward vision from the large utility vehicles can be limited. A crew may not see someone who has walked up to their work truck. • Please note, all restoration estimates are for customers whose property is in condition to receive power. If the electric service entrance (meter loop) to your home or business has been damaged or pulled away from the structure, you will need to have it repaired by a licensed electrician before PSO can re-connect service. GENERATOR SAFETY • Power Outage: If you use a generator, please follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions. Do not operate the unit indoors. Connect appliances directly to the generator’s electric outlets…not to the main electrical panel of your home or business unless you have had an electric load transfer switch installed to isolate your home’s wiring from PSO’s electric system. Otherwise, you jeopardize the safety of utility workers. • Evacuation: Before you evacuate your house please disconnect (open) your home’s main electrical breaker after you turn off the generator. This will eliminate any possibility of the generator feeding power back into PSO’s electric system.

Five low- and no-cost energy-saving cold weather tips for customers: 1. Adjust the temperature in your home when no one is home or when everyone is asleep. Set thermostats as low as appropriate for staying healthy and comfortable. Lowering the temperature on your thermostat by just a couple of degrees can result in significant longterm savings. 2. Replace your air filters to keep your HVAC system and thermostat(s) working well as you heat your home. Dirty air filters can restrict airflow, making your system work harder and less effective. 3. Seal leaks to stop drafts. No one likes a cold draft on a winter day. Air leaks can cause your home to lose 25% or more of the energy used to heat it! Doors are the #1 culprit, so use door seals and door sweeps to stop cold air in its tracks. But don’t stop there; check keyholes, ceiling light fixtures, and fireplace mantels to see if you can spot other places your heat could be escaping and seal them accordingly. 4. Use your curtains. Open your curtains and blinds during daylight hours to allow the sun to naturally heat your home. Close your curtains and blinds when the sun goes down to act as a barrier and prevent cold chills from cooling your home. 5. Adjust the temperature of your water heater. After heating and cooling systems, water heaters are the second-highest source of energy usage in a home. Whether you use it or not, your water heater continually reheats water to a set temperature, 24/7. Lowering the temperature on your water heater by just a few degrees can save you a couple of dollars on your monthly energy bills. 34th Annual Calf Fry Announces Headliners Stillwater, Oklahoma—The 34th Annual Calf Fry taking place April 30-May 2 at the Tumbleweed Arena in Stillwater, OK has announced their headliners for their 2026 Festival. Josh Meloy, Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin are all headlining this prestigious event. Josh Meloy, an Oklahoma native and storyteller at heart, will capture your imagination with every song. From wearing out the dive bars of Oklahoma to more recently playing the historic Ryman Auditorium, Meloy has finally captured a national audience. With a brand new album “Where You Came From” released in June of 2024, he shows no signs of slowing down. With over 3.1 million listens on Spotify and 243,215 followers, Meloy has built up an international audience who yearns for every song. Josh Crutchmer of Rolling Stone called Meloy “a rising Red Dirt country star.” Flatland Cavalry has built a reputation as “one of the most dynamic presences in country music” (Rolling Stone) with their signature “Easy on the ears, heavy on the heart” sound. In 2024, the sextet celebrated 10 years together with Flatland Forever, an acclaimed album that pays tribute to their journey, revisiting fan favorites while introducing new songs that showcase how far they’ve come. The past year has been full of milestones for the Nashville and Texas-based band. They earned their first ACM Award nomination for Group of the Year, achieved their first RIAA Gold certification for their breakout single “A Life Where We Work Out,” and made their mark in film and television with contributions to the Twisters and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes soundtracks, as well as featured placements on the hit television series Yellowstone and Landman. Their relentless touring schedule reached new heights, including sold-out headline performances at Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Since first emerging in 2014, Flatland Cavalry has racked up seven #1 singles on Texas Country Radio and amassed more than five hundred million streams. Along the way, they’ve shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Midland, and more proving that their brand of storytelling and musician- ship resonates far beyond their roots. Flatland Cavalry is made up of Cleto Cordero (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jason Albers (drums, percussion), Jonathan Saenz (bass), Reid Dillon (electric guitar), Wesley Hall (fiddle), and Adam Gallegos (piano, organ, keys, mandolin, banjo). Charles Wesley Godwin has been on a steady upward climb following his beloved debut album, 2019’s Seneca. Alongside his longtime band, the Allegheny High, the musician has developed a reputation as a thrilling and beautifully raucous live performer. Godwin has ap- peared on ESPN’s Sportscenter, performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Sessions. 2026 will see Godwin release his 4th full-length album, as well as a slew of tour dates and festivals, including Stagecoach and Under The Big Sky, amongst others.
