The weather conditions not only causing a problem on the roads, but there are also travel delays at Bradley Airport on this busy travel day.
AAA estimates that around 200,000 New Englanders will be flying for Thanksgiving and wintry weather in other parts of the country is causing some flight delays and cancelations here.
“We’re a little bit nervous with all the weather. When we were driving up here it was pretty pouring, but it was good,” Jennifer Granger, of Bristol, said.
Some travelers are being proactive.
“I was supposed to fly out at 11 a.m. this morning, but I bumped up my flight,” Jenna Grzeslo, of Springfield, Massachusetts, said.
Some travelers, like Caroline Demario, of South Hadley, Massachusetts, are preparing for the worst. Her flight to Detroit doesn’t take off for another nine hours.
“My parents actually booked me a room at the Sheraton just in case. We are hoping we don’t have to use it,” she said.
Airport officials said weather delays can easily trickle down as the day goes on.
“It is a domino effect. Everything may be fine here or we have a little bit of rain, but if there’s problems elsewhere, that could impact us here,” John Wallace, of the Connecticut Airport Authority, said.
