NPRMillions are heading home from the holiday to face snow and an Artic blast toggle caption Robert F. Bukaty/AP Travelers heading home from the Thanksgiving holiday this weekend could face severe weather and travel delays. The Arctic blast, along with the lake effect snow blanketing upper portions of the Northeast and Midwest, is leading to dangerous conditions for travel and delays. Weather officials in Buffalo, N.Y., on Friday warned that travel conditions are "poor" within areas where lake effect snow is falling and said to avoid travel in those areas. Travel bans along I-86 from the Pennsylvania state line to I-390 and other roadways went into effect Friday afternoon, with lake-effect snow warnings in effect across parts of New York through Monday.
