Severe Winter Weather Threatens Thanksgiving Travel Across U.S.. Snow

Snow, freezing temperatures, and high winds are forecast to impact millions of holiday travelers in multiple regions through the weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings and advisories for 13 states, including Colorado, New York, and California, with snowfall reaching up to 6 feet in some areas.
Heavy snow and strong winds are expected to create dangerous travel conditions in mountainous regions, including the Sierra Nevada, Rockies, and Wasatch ranges.
An arctic blast will bring the coldest temperatures of the season to the northern Plains, Midwest, and parts of the East, with wind chills as low as -40°F in some areas.
Lake-effect snow near the Great Lakes could lead to significant disruptions, including road closures and hazardous driving conditions, particularly in western New York.
Nearly 80 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving, with delays and cancellations already reported at airports and on major highways due to the severe weather.
