New York's governor has issued a plea to people traveling for Thanksgiving to use extra caution on the roads. Governor Kathy Hochul raised concerns about holiday travel this weekend as New York is set to be hit with a dangerous winter storm, which is expected to bring snow and freezing rain as well as major road closures.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for parts of southern Vermont and New Hampshire, in effect through Thanksgiving into early Friday.

Much of the country will experience dry, cool weather for Thanksgiving. The exception will be in parts of the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
