Thanksgiving Travel: Snowy Surprises and Winter Wonders

Thanksgiving 2025 is shaping up to be a bit of a weather rollercoaster. Meteorologists are keeping a close eye on a storm system that's expected to bring a mix of rain and snow to parts of the country. While the Northeast might see mostly rain, there's a chance for some snow showers in northern New York and New England on Thanksgiving morning. The storm isn't done yet. After Thanksgiving, another system is set to bring wind, rain, ice, and more snow to places like Pennsylvania and Upstate New York. The rest of the Northeast can expect a cold snap. So, if you're planning to travel, be prepared for some weather-related hiccups. Now, let's talk about the bigger picture. The Old Farmer's Almanac has some predictions for the upcoming winter. They're calling for a mostly mild winter with some wild card moments. For New Jersey, that means milder and drier conditions, with most of the snow falling around the holidays and late winter. But how accurate is the Old Farmer's Almanac? They claim their predictions are about 80% accurate. However, weather is tricky, and even the best predictions can be off. So, while it's fun to look ahead, it's always a good idea to be prepared for anything. Speaking of preparation, if you're planning to travel for Thanksgiving, you're not alone. Most Americans will be hitting the road, with a smaller percentage flying. So, whether you're driving or flying, keep an eye on the weather and be ready for delays.
