Post-Thanksgiving travel is expected to be hazardous in parts of the Great Lakes region due to heavy lake-effect snow, while frigid temperatures blanket a large portion of the United States. Residents in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio have been grappling with low temperatures and significant snowfall, with nearly 70% of the continental US forecasted to experience temperatures below freezing in the coming days.

Cities such as New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati are bracing for below-average temperatures throughout the week. Approximately four million individuals are under lake-effect snow warnings, with heavy snow already impacting regions in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York state. These warnings are set to expire Sunday night through Monday.
