Thanksgiving Travel: Snow, Ice, Wind Could Cause Trouble From Northeast to Georgia
Please take this into account if you plan to travel for the holidays.
Travel trouble is brewing for Thanksgiving. In something of a replay of last week’s spring-to-winter cold plunge, traffic-snarling snow and ice are in the forecast from New England to Georgia for Wednesday — the busiest day of the holiday week on the roads, on the rails and in the skies.
And it couldn’t come at a worse time: AAA said 41 million Americans will travel for this Thanksgiving, the most in seven years, and millions of them are in for a mess.
In the Northeast, where temperatures reached into the sunny 70s Monday, conditions could be cold and strong enough to qualify as a Nor’easter within just 48 hours. Highs approaching the record for Nov. 24 in New York City and parts of New Jersey could fall as much as 40 degrees by Wednesday morning as a cold coastal system moves in, dropping rain along the shore and a wintry mix inland.
