Latest forecast calls for snow, rain, cold in U.S. during Thanksgiving holiday

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- A cross-country storm, a blast of Arctic air and an outbreak of showers and thunderstorms are threatening to snarl traffic and pile up delays at airports through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, one of the busiest travel periods in the United States, reported USA Today on Wednesday.

"A sweeping storm that brought snow across the West is forecast to blast the Colorado Rockies before moving further east, unloading heavy rain across the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio valleys Wednesday night," said the report.
