The heavy snowfall led to a state of emergency declaration in New York and a disaster declaration in Pennsylvania, affecting Thanksgiving travel and creating hazardous conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, "Travel will be extremely difficult and hazardous this weekend, especially in areas where multiple feet of snow may accumulate very quickly."
With impassable roads in northwestern Pennsylvania, hotel staff provided refuge to stranded travelers, as Jeremiah Weatherley recalled, "We had no choice; they just showed up."
