Winter Weather Set to Disrupt Christmas Travel Across U.S. and Canada

Snow, ice, and storms are forecast to impact travel conditions in multiple regions, with varying chances of a white Christmas across North America.

The National Weather Service and AccuWeather predict hazardous travel conditions in at least 18 U.S. states due to snow, ice, and storms, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest.
A series of storms is bringing heavy rain, mountain snow, and dangerous ocean waves to the Pacific Northwest and California, with waves up to 40 feet expected in some areas.
In Canada, parts of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes are forecast to see fresh snow, while milder conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan may reduce chances of a white Christmas.
Nearly half of U.S. states, especially in the North and mountainous West, have a high chance of a white Christmas, though southern states are unlikely to see snow.
Travelers are advised to monitor weather updates closely as millions take to the roads and skies during one of the busiest holiday travel periods.
