Thanksgiving Driving Travel to Increase This Year AAA Reports

A snow plow on Thanksgiving, 3 days after the snow ended.

The the number of Americans traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday will increase 11.4 percent from 2009, AAA projected earlier this week. Approximately 42.2 million travelers were expected to take a trip of at least 50 miles away from home. Last year, 37.9 million Americans traveled during the Thanksgiving holiday. The 2010 Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, November 24 to Sunday, November 28.

After my little driving adventure earlier this week thanks to a #snOMG snow storm here in the Seattle area, our family went exactly 0 miles for the holiday. I walked out to the street a couple of times to see whether it would be drivable some time this year.
