Christmas travel to be hit by huge snow bomb as Americans told to plan ahead
Millions may be impacted by weather conditions that could cause travel delays during the Christmas holiday, according to meteorologists.
Rain, thunderstorms, fog and snow are predicted to hit certain areas across the country in the week leading up to the holiday break, forecasters predict. A coastal storm is slated to hit on Friday night that could bring snow to several states. Travelers are warned to be cautious of “slippery” conditions.
