U.S. Thanksgiving travellers stranded by massive winter storm

A deadly winter storm that has been tormenting travellers across the U.S. since before Thanksgiving moved to the Northeast on Sunday, packing one last punch of snow and ice as people made their way home after the holiday weekend.

The National Weather Service predicted more than a foot (0.3 metres) of snow in swaths of upstate New York and New England, as well as ice accumulations in parts of Pennsylvania.

“We’ve got our shovels ready. We’ve got the snowblower ready. We’re prepared,” said Paul Newman of Wethersfield, Connecticut.

The same storm has been pummelling the U.S. for days as it moves cross country, dumping heavy snow from parts of California to the northern Midwest and inundating other areas with rain.

It has been blamed for several deaths.

I still don't understand why people travel during winter

Never understood the idiocracy of traveling long distance for a four day weekend. Idiots knew this was coming. It was like this when they left and still went. Yet people want to be frustrated? Screw that! 😠

All of that for a turkey dinner ? Who's the turkey now ? I hope they took left overs with them on the road if you can see it

France We love Christ, believe in Him, and respect Him and His mother. We are not like you, who insulted and abused him.”Muslim faith”
