Thanksgiving travelers on the East Coast are facing travel delays and weather woes as a storm brings snow and rain to the region. Winter storm warnings are in effect for parts of New England, with over a foot of snow expected. Air travel has also been impacted, with delays at airports like Newark and Denver due to the storm. Meanwhile, a record number of people are expected to travel by car for the holiday, leading to crowded roads and highways.

Lake effect snow alerts are in effect downwind of lakes Ontario and Erie, causing hazardous travel conditions. Drivers should be cautious of rainy and snowy conditions on the East Coast. Overall, travelers are facing challenging conditions during the holiday period, with the biggest task expected to be on Sunday as millions of people pass through TSA checkpoints to head home. Despite the travel woes, many are remaining positive and looking forward to spending time with family and loved ones during the Thanksgiving holiday.
