Despite the lack of widespread snowfall in the U.S. on Christmas Day, some areas near the Canadian border and in the Northeast may see snow showers. Buffalo, New York is forecasted to have snow that will likely turn into rain, while the Rochester area may see snow showers before 7 p.m. Other regions, like Kansas and Oklahoma, are not expected to have a white Christmas this year.
Travelers are expected to take to the skies in the millions ahead of Christmas and Hanukkah, with Friday and Saturday projected to be the busiest days for air transportation during the holiday season. The TSA reported 2.6 million air passengers on Thursday, with a record number of travelers predicted by AAA for the end of the year. Around 119 million people in the U.S. are expected to travel between Saturday and Jan. 1, with the majority opting to drive rather than fly.
Overall, while much of the U.S. may not have snow on the ground for Christmas, travelers are still gearing up for the holiday season in record numbers. Despite the lack of a white Christmas for many, the festive spirit remains high as people prepare to celebrate with loved ones.
