Snow-Strap Sally

The Real Story

As Americans head into one of the busiest travel holidays of the year, a strong Arctic cold-front and winter-storm system are set to bring snow, gusty winds and dangerous travel conditions across large swaths of the U.S., particularly the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast. Forecasts warn of lake-effect snow, blizzard-level winds and sub-freezing temperatures just as millions hit the roads and skies to travel for Thanksgiving, raising the risk of delays, cancellations and hazardous commutes.
