Weather Doesn't Care if You Need to Get Home

That plan by President Bush to make traveling worry free for fliers during the Thanksgiving holiday may have left out one big variable -- weather! Alas, the U.S. Government has no control over the weather and "Storm" from the X-Men is trapped in the pages of comic books.

So far it's not looking good for travelers. This is from a USA Today story:

A front brewing in the Northwest is forecast to spread severe weather from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico and east to Vermont on one of the highest-volume travel days of the year, said Tom Moore, senior meteorologist at The Weather Channel.

"Wednesday is going to be a nightmare over a lot of the country," Moore said. "Although it's not going to be a colossal storm, there's going to be so much rain and low clouds, I would say there are going to be significant delays over large parts of the country."
