Snowstorm to disrupt Thanksgiving travel for millions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A snowstorm that will disrupt Thanksgiving travel for millions is slamming Colorado, and it's on its way toward the upper Midwest. It could reach the Northeast in time for Wednesday's big travel day.

Winter storm alerts stretch across much of the country, and in Denver, the forecast calls for 15 inches of snow. The Denver International Airport has over 200 pieces of equipment working to clear runways, but more than 200 flights have been canceled. Travelers there, like others across the country, are bracing for menacing holiday conditions.

Scenes of nature's fury are beginning to stretch for miles, coast to coast, as drivers brace for dangerous roads to get home for the holiday, reports CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen.

In Salt Lake City, only cars with four-wheel drive and tires with chains are allowed on roads. Emergency crews responded to more than 50 crashes Monday.

1. Ahhh, yes! The joy of Thanksgiving travel.

Why airline employees hate the holiday. Almost every year the weather is bad on either the beginning side, or the return side, and often both.

Which is why I would never fly anywhere for Thanksgiving, not unless it was a week before and coming home middle of the week after.

Glad I am staying home in Santa Fa for the holiday.

2. Had about 10-12" in SE metro Denver.

It's stopped now and I cleared my drive. Parents' flight in from AZ today, was cancelled yesterday. No snow in immediate forecast for where I live, but that may change. SLC sounds like they are getting killed.

3. It is coming down hard in SE Minnesota.

Expecting to get upwards to a foot of heavy snow.
