Snow and Ice Alert: Holiday Travel in Jeopardy for 10 Million

Attention, winter is here! Over 10 million people from the Northeast to the Midwest are bracing for a chilly Christmas. Weather experts say an arctic air mass is making it cold and snowy. New York City might see some snow showers on Christmas Eve, but don’t expect a White Christmas. Chicago and Detroit are also in for some icy conditions. Out West, heavy rain and mountain snow are forecast. Yikes, that’s a lot of weather to deal with! The Northeast is feeling the freeze. It’s been the coldest start to the holiday in a while. Snow showers are expected, which could make commutes tricky. New York City might see some snow during the morning rush, so be careful out there! Upstate New York and Maine could get more snow, but New York City probably won’t get enough for a White Christmas. The Midwest is not left out. Cities like Chicago and Detroit are dealing with snow and ice too. Expect more snow through Tuesday in some areas. Be cautious on the roads this holiday period. While the East battles snow, the West Coast is getting soaked. A big moisture surge is bringing lots of rain and mountain snow. Watch out for flooding and dangerous travel conditions in the mountains. Travel might be a pain during this busy time. Early morning commutes could be tough, especially in areas like New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York. The weekend already saw slippery roads. Even if it’s not snowing, it will feel cold across the Northeast and Midwest. So, keep an eye on the weather forecasts. Stay prepared and safe!
