The weather channels mike seidel is in Oklahoma City as people travel across the country today. Mike, good morning. Good morning, willie. Over 13 million in the path of the wintry side of the storm, including here in Oklahoma City where weve got a driving rain. Winds gusting over 25 miles an hour, and the temperature has dropped down to 34 degrees. Meanwhile this morning, freezing rain has turned highways into skating rinks from nebraska into new mexico. This morning a huge storm system is bringing a cold winter blast to a big part of the country, like a belt wrapped around the midwest from the great lakes all the way down to the southern plains. If youre anywhere in its path theres likely to be some kind of nasty weather in your forecast.

Ice storm warnings, including parts of texas into oklahoma and up into parts of kansas, too. Thats where were going to se our biggest concerns for travelers on the roads. Here you see along 40 and 25, youre looking at snow eventually turning over to those icy conditions, and especially the bridges and the overpasses, they freeze first, so just really slow down as you go over those overpasses because it freezes on the top and the bottom underneath as well. Now, if youre heading through chicago or detroit or st. Louis today, look for rain showers that could cause some delays and where the ice is a little farther to the west. Slippery conditions still an issue. On saturday its not just the rain but also some fog. Again, that causes delays at airports. Major hubs like new york city, cincinnati could see some of those rain showers and foggy conditions causing some delays, and then you go back still through texas and oklahoma. Thats where were looking for ice to still be an issue. Now on sunday the ice and the snow, its allowed a little bit and well see mainly rain and reduced visibility because of the rain and the fog and this rain is going to stretch all the way through parts of kentucky and virginia, stretching over into virginia, too, where soggy travel is going tonight biggest thing on the roads and that could slow down travels.

From the big gifts that mean a lot, to the little ones that mean everything. And share wonder on christmas day. Walmart. Were back at 7 41. The largest muslim Civil Liberties group says the level of antimuslim backlash in america has been unprecedented in the wake of the paris attacks and you recently sat down with a group of muslimamericans who wanted to clear up some misconceptions about their religion. Absolutely. Everyone we met with was born in the u. S. Or raised here since childhood and are as american as can be and yet they arent always embraced in that way. Our conversation covered a number of topics including their attacks in paris two weeks ago. I think our first thought always has tonight victims. Any time we start thinking about the attackers we give them a victory so its the people in istanbul, its the people in beruit and paris. Whats the biggest miss conception when you say to someone im a muslim . What do you think they dont understand . A lot of people seem to have troubling that american muslims are american. Of course, the most common misconception is were terrorists or sympathetic to terrorists or our religion itself is terrorism. Why do you think that has endured, the misconception. The image of islam portrayed publicly, the fact that theres not a lot of muslims in the United States and all people know about islam is what they receive in the news and Foreign Policy and honestly a lot of job representing themselves or their religion in the public. Mostly we kind of punted on that one until very recently when we realized oh, my god, maybe we should be telling our stories instead of letting other people tell our stories. Some of the fact is we havent invested in explaining what would we are and what we believe and what we dont believe. People question our poilt loyalty and thats perplexing in the sense that my father is a veteran veteran. Theres people in the United States army right now who are willing to lay their lives down for this kun cri. We talked a little bit about the ways in which muslims are portrayed negatively in the media, but i think there are really important muslims in the public eye whom people would recognize if we said their names and dont realize that they are muslim. I think of kareem abduljabbar, muhammad ali, lit torch at the 96 Olympic Games and the owner of the jacksonville jaguars, muslims in the public eye and represent our tshirt. Panic, im islamic. Do you find that any of you feel youre discriminated against simply by the way you look . When youre a hijaby girl, so, yes, weve had reported incidents of a woman being spat at, woman being cursed at, woman being tripped to the ground, go back home threats. I mean, its been a pretty crazy two weeks. I want to come back to your shirt. Do you wear that out in public, and the if so what kind of a reaction you get . The last time i wore this one was in the new york city climate march about a year ago, and at that time that one got me a lot of love. Dont often wear this out on the streets unless im in an environment thats supportive. I dont want to close mosques, i want to sfal mosques, i want mosques surveilled. When you hear that a president ial candidate wants to monitor your place of worship. What do you think about that . My first thought as a muslim is lets invite him over. Exposure to some good oldfashioned muslim hospitality. It would do him good to see that were not so different from anyone that his political base. When john f. Kennedy was running for catholic he was attacked for accatholic and they were afraid they would a statue of the pope over the white house and we have to look deep within our own culture and find out why this cycle of racism and fear of the unknown and lack of education on our parts as a america keeps repeating it self. Threat to america is the way he has been demonizing people because it completely clashes and collides with what america is. I keep going back to this optimism that i have of everyone, of every faith. Were going to vote and were going to utilize that power from the people, what this country is supposed to have been found pedestrian on, the voice of the people. It was a great conversation. They talk a lot, too, about you have to their religion in many ways has been sort of stolen by isis, taking the name and doing all these names in the name of islam and thats not islam that any of them, you know, believe in or adhere to so it was a great, great conversation and appreciate all of of them sitting down and talking to us. Interesting to hear the one gentleman say, you know, its our time to tell our story because maybe you dont know much about it, but were going to tell it our way. Which is a great, great point. They are all all five of them are really committed to doing that. Relieved to be able to talk and speak to you. Nice job, erica. Coming up, the deals that friday hassle batman so why do they call it black friday, anyway . Pony i dont know, but i think they should call it pink friday. Batman oh boy.

Back now at 8 40 with our ongoing series of the nfl together we make football. Stories about the Game Changing get tough for the broncos omar bolden he adopted new words to live by. Now hes rewarding fans who do the same. On any given day you can find omar boldin wearing a smile, but that wasnt always the case. In college i was facing some adversity, just tore my acl. Obviously a tough time for me. As a way to get him through the hard times omar adopted the slogan positive living. I started hashtagging it and tweeting it and its continued to grow on from there. This year omar created the positive living award which recognizes community standouts. Its easy toe take situations in life and look at them the wrong way, and i think a lot of, you know, outcomes have to do with the way you react to situations. And omar bolden down the broncos sideline with his teammates cheering him on. The awards first recipient 15yearold Daniel Dornan understands the importance of facing adversity with a smile. When i was 12, my mom was diagnosed with cancer a week after my dad left for afghanistan. I mean, we were broke and its just you either threat roll you over or you have to stand up to it. I saw what all she had to go through and what all it takes to help somebody get through it. His mothers battle inspired daniel to create the organization comfort for kids. We donate comfort bags with toys it and blanket and ageappropriate items to the oncology floor at different Childrens Hospitals around the u. S. He wanted to do something to help other kids, and i i couldnt be prouder. I wanted to try to put a smile on a kids face every day. I think its a unique act and special for a kid to want to make other kids feel special. Thats why owe war rewarded daniel with a once in a lifetime game day opportunity. Im looking for that punt and taking it to the house. Kickoff return, bro. Were about to kit, it man. This season omar plans to continue honoring more recipients for every home game. Im happy its growing and im happy that its touching people. No matter what your situation is, you can always find the good. I have to thank omar bolden. I want people to continue to live positive and continue to do good things and love life and do it.

Up next on today, new and different ways to enjoy your thanksgiving leftovers. Today on nbc. Back now at 8 45 with today food as we put the finishing touches on our ultimate thanksgiving series. Time for the best part of thanksgiving, the leftovers. Justin smiley is author of slow fires and a chef at upland here in new york and is here to turn your turkey and stuffing into delicious new meals. Great to have you with us. Freight to be here. Very excited about this segment all morning long. Especially since youre mixing it up a little bey. Not just a turkey sandwich. We do what we can. Growing up, thats typical of what we got to eat. So ive got salad and pasta. Two options. The first one is a salad. Its a kale and bruce el sprout sal aid, anchovy, dejohn vinaigrette. And youre going to use the turkey leg and in my family a lot of white male eaters so theres brown meat leftovers. Actly. You sort of cut it up a little bit. Shred it up and well do a quick little toasting in the man. To make it kind crispy, right . Super crispy. Give it a nice crunch, good sizzle there. And how long do these cook for, until they are kind of brown . Cooks for three to four minutes, until lightly golden brown. And were cook being the turkey and also cooking up some almonds. Absolutely. We toast these lightly. Take about eight to ten minutes and when they are done we dress them with a little bit of olive oil and a little bit of sea salt. Roast them in a dry pan for that. One of the major reasons for that is you dont want to denature the olive oil and keeps it fresher and fruitier and brighter on top. Love these little tips. All right. So this is chris pick up. Weve got our almonds, a little greens. We have a little bit of kale and the tip with this, its a sturdier green so i like to rough it up a little bit. The whole massaging kale thing ive heard so much about. Exactly. A little roll and julienne. And when you roll it up like that makes it easier to handle. And theres your kale. Brussel sprouts. Exactly. And i like to cut them top to bottom to kind of show off the vegetable. Leave that intact. Dont cut it anymore. A little breaking up and mix in all in here. Shave and chopped and you make your own dressing. I do. Im a big fan of that, i do the same, i have to admit. The what do you put it in, olive oil, sweet and sour and well take the crisp you had turkey leg and break into bigger pieces and smaller pieces which helps bring the salad together. You need the almonds. The green, it makes me feel healthier the day after thanksgiving. Absolutely. Excellent. So thats all tossed and beautiful and then you put a little shaved parm right on top. Shaved parm right on top. And put this right into the bowl. Perfect. And, weve got our salad. Ill have you shave that and move back to the one weve really been waiting on all morning, i have to be honest. Your new take on stuffing. Okay. So we move back here. Weve got dish number two. This is the weve got our separate board right here, what to do with the leftover stuffing, making hash. Making a little hash. So basically whatever stuffing is left over at end of your thanksgiving meal, i like to press it a little bit. Okay. So we kind of cut out a little cardboard insert and overnight put a little number 10 can on top of it. So we can get it in the pan. When youre frying it it might ever come apart. Get the little crispy bits and make a bed for the hash. Put it on the plate like so. Yeah. This is great. If people are watching and maybe didnt press their stuffing overnight. Can you still use the stuffing. Sizzle and roll it around and have the crispy naturally bit. Who doesnt love a fried egg the morning after thanksgiving. I think now we need to do a little bit of sampling. A little arugula. A little a ruling la. Willie and sheinelle are the salad is real good. Were finished. And youve all been very quiet. Thats usually a good sign. So good. Did you cook yesterday . I always wonder if the chef cooks on thanksgiving. I let my mother do the work. Does she ask you for tips. I ask her for tips. And who came up with the hash, something your mom would do. This is something i kind worked out, you know, after doing many years in the restaurant. Oh, my gosh, delicious. I love it. So good. Thanks for coming in. Happy thanksgiving, a day late. Happy thanksgiving. Good luck with your shopping today. Perfect.
