Winter storm threatens to scramble Thanksgiving travel plans.
5 min readA day after bringing havoc to the Rocky Mountains, a powerful winter storm rolled across the Midwest on Wednesday, threatening to scramble Thanksgiving plans for millions of people during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.
"It's one of those things, you couldn't make it up if you tried," National Weather Service meteorologist Brent Hewett said of back-to-back storms forming around the holiday. Northbound lanes of Interstate 5, which runs parallel to the coast, were reopened later Wednesday from Redding, California all the way to the Oregon border. The southbound lanes at Ashland, Oregon, reopened earlier in the day.
“If you can wait a little bit today, the better off you’ll be because the roads will be being cleared, and our snow is pretty much wrapping up,” said Tyler Hasenstein, a weather service meteorologist in Minneapolis. The northern reaches of Wisconsin saw 7 to 10 inches of snow, with more coming down. The Milwaukee airport reported wind and rain, but there was no snow within a hundred miles of the city.About 10 inches of snow mixed with winds that limited visibility and canceled about 30% of the 1,600 average daily flights at Denver’s main airport.
