Thanksgiving Travel: Snow and Rain Alert in 14 States

Are you planning a Thanksgiving trip? Beware, multiple states are bracing for heavy snow and rain, which could disrupt your journey. States like Colorado, Idaho, and California are expecting up to 7 feet of snow in mountain areas. This snowfall is forecasted to cause travel chaos, especially since millions of Americans are hitting the roads, trains, and planes to visit family.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Hanford predicts significant snow accumulation in central California's highest mountains. Meanwhile, Nevada's Eastern Sierra slopes might see around 6 feet of snow, accompanied by strong winds. Out west, moderate rain and mountain snow are expected to continue, while a new storm over the Great Lakes could bring rain and wet snow to Michigan and Wisconsin. President Biden took to Twitter to reassure travelers. He mentioned that his administration is working to ban airline junk fees and ensure refunds for delays or cancellations. So, while the weather might be unpredictable, at least there's some peace of mind regarding travel policies.
