Severe storms and possible snow may cause some Thanksgiving travel trouble, according to officials.

“Two main storm systems are expected to impact the Nation with rain, thunderstorms, and winter weather,” the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Prediction Center posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Be sure to remain weather aware this week and check weather.gov for local forecasts before traveling,” the service added.

Back in the 80’s we got 8 inches of snow on Thanksgiving Eve. In South Jersey so we really were not prepared for it. All the high school rivalry games got cancelled.

Our biggest “fear porn” in So Cal is massive traffic jams for the holiday weekend - that have already started.

Glad I’m staying home for Thanksgiving this year!

More often than not, SW WI has snow by now. We’ve had a LOVELY, long Fall so far and I’ll take it. No snow for the Deer Season opener this past weekend.

It’s not unusual for kids to Trick or Treat in the snow. It’s also not unusual for Easter to be snowy.

We just adjust the color of our Snow Suits, Boots & Parkas to the current Holiday. ;)

Back in the late 80s I remember driving up to ski at Sunday River in Maine because they got 2 feet on Thanksgiving Day.

It sure rained last night.10 degrees colder and they would have been playing in a blizzard.

I've got my picks in for the week. You sure has a good week. I'm still right in the middle again.

“Severe storms and snow” have always threatened holiday travel because Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s are winter holidays and winter months have winter storms.

Geez, listening to their wailing and gnashing of teeth, you’d think “winter” is an unknown and I experienced phenomenon.

OMG! Now globull warming is causing storms for the holiday. As a countermeasure I think all should go out and get a couple extra covid boosters and put a down payment on an EV.

Amazing, it snows in the Winter and the media acts like it's the first time it has ever happened.

The turkey day blizzard of 1971 took millions by surprise. It occurred nearly a month before the start of winter, and is still a Thanksgiving snowstorm for the record books in upstate New York state and adjacent locales.

Snow started falling on November 24, the day before Thanksgiving, and the flakes were still flying the next day. Albany, a city that’s no stranger to snow, got a whopping 22.5 inches. The National Weather Service still ranks the 1971 blizzard as the greatest November snowstorm on record for the Albany area.

Unseasonably warm the past few weeks in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota, but we all know what is coming …cold and snow. Hey, it’s winter folks and it this hemisphere it gets cold and often snows. Stop the panic, get out your warm coat, gloves and snow shovels just like every year.
