Travel woes plague thousands of Thanksgiving travelers as a storm hits the East Coast, causing heavy snow and rain. Winter storm warnings are in effect from New York through New England, with over a foot of snow expected. Power outages have affected tens of thousands in Maine, while flight delays have been reported in Denver and Newark due to weather and staffing shortages. Overall, 71.1 million people are expected to travel by car during the holiday. In addition to the East Coast storm, lake effect snow alerts are in place for areas nearby lakes Ontario and Erie. Frigid temperatures are also expected, with daytime highs below average and overnight lows reaching below freezing in some areas, including the Gulf Coast. Sunday is expected to be the busiest day for travel as 3 million people are anticipated to pass through TSA checkpoints. Sunday afternoon and Monday morning are predicted to be the worst times to drive. Despite the challenges, travelers like Angel Ruiz remain excited to reach their destinations and spend time with loved ones during the holiday season.
