On the first official day of winter, bad weather coast to coast is bringing a wintry mix that's threatening the holiday travel rush both in the air and on the roads. NBC News' Adrienne Broaddus reports from Chicago O'Hare Airport.
The lead-up into the holidays will be heavy on precipitation for many Americans as another storm system moves in across the Great Lakes and Northeast regions, bringing rain and snow in the days before Christmas. Those in the Northeast were already treated to snow on Saturday, the first day of winter, and are expected to get another few inches between Monday and Tuesday.
Showers are expected for Northern California and Washington later this week and potential for snow in the area's mountain ranges. But it will be the interior Northeast, Michigan, and Wisconsin that are expected to receive anywhere between two to six inches of snow before Christmas Eve. It's unlikely, however, that there will be much snowfall in New York City or Boston.
