During Thanksgiving feast, some Americans hold the politics
CHICAGO (AP) — As Americans prepared to gather Thursday for Thanksgiving turkey, football and togetherness, many planned to avoid talk of the rancorous election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Sitting on their suitcases at a departure lounge at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Sharyn Ioffe and her brother Saul Ioffe said there's a good chance politics will intervene this Thanksgiving when they arrive home in New York.
Americans took to the roads, air and railways Wednesday for what is expected to be the busiest Thanksgiving travel period in almost a decade.
The National Weather Service issued winter weather advisories for parts of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan as well as western and central Montana and central Idaho, New York and Pennsylvania for Wednesday night.
A winter storm warning was in effect for parts of northwest Washington state, with heavy snow expected through Thanksgiving Day.
