Traffic, airport delays, school delays, early dismissals for Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Welcome to Newsday's live look at Thanksgiving getaway day, Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2014.
A storm is rolling into the region just in time to make one the busiest travel days of the year even more frustrating for anyone riding the highways or rushing to an airport.
The good news: It's a mostly rain event on Long Island, although the North Shore could compile a few inches of snow.
JFK/LAGUARDIA AIRPORT ADVISORY
There is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving John F Kennedy International Airport, New York, NY (JFK). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes.
