Despite most of the United States not having snow on the ground for Christmas, parts of the Rocky Mountains, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and areas close to the Canadian border could see a white Christmas. Other areas like Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and more were not so lucky according to the National Weather Service. However, some parts of the Northeast could get snow showers on Tuesday. Buffalo may see snow that turns into rain, while Rochester could have snow showers before Santa arrives. Despite the lack of snow, millions of travelers were expected to take to the skies ahead of Christmas and Hanukkah, making Friday and Saturday the busiest days for air transportation during the holiday season. Earlier predictions by the AAA suggested a record number of travelers in the U.S. for the end of the year, with around 119 million people expected to travel from Saturday to January 1, mainly by car. Despite the lack of a white Christmas for most, travelers were still expected to be out in full force for the holiday season.
