Coast-to-Coast Storm Causes Thanksgiving Travel Delays with Rain and Snow

Thanksgiving holiday travel has been impacted by a storm moving from the Rockies to the Midwest and Northeast, creating delays for millions flying and driving to their destinations. The storm brought snow and rain to multiple regions, leading to thousands of flight delays and cancellations. Road travelers faced slick conditions on major highways, including interstates and highways in the Midwest and Northeast. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City went on as scheduled, with balloons flying in mild winds. Post-Thanksgiving travel is expected to return to normal conditions by Friday, although cold temperatures and lake effect snow in the Great Lakes and Northeast may persist through the weekend. Authorities are warning travelers parking their vehicles at airports to be cautious of car thefts, with over 300 cars stolen from Atlanta’s airport this year. Additional security measures, such as cameras, motorcycle patrols, and fencing, are being implemented to prevent further thefts. Overall, travelers should remain mindful of potential delays and disruptions due to weather-related and security issues when planning their holiday travel.
