During this busiest travel time of the season and as getaway week arrives for millions, a powerful wintertime storm with heavy rains and strong wind-gusts are threatening to tear into many travel plans between 11/22-12/3.
Tis the season without jolly because of not so friendly skies. This wacky weather threatens Thanksgiving celebrations and Black Friday shopping sprees.
If you're one of those millions expected to be traveling:

Feral hogs date back to Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who brought them to Florida as a food source in 1539. Later, American colonists allowed some domesticated hogs to feed in the woods, freeing many of them forever.
But as they continue to escape from farm pens, the state of Virginia is now acting to reduce population of wild pigs. These are the most invasive animals in U.S. There’s been a population explosion of these large, wild animals in the Virginia woods, and it’s not the cute, doe-eyed kind that conjures images of Bambi.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory through noon Monday. A mix of rain, light freezing rain and light sleet was expect the temperatures will not be as cold as initially forecast.
The developing storm system will bring heavy rains and could possibly impact holiday travel across the eastern portion of The United States by the middle of the week.
Meanwhile, alternate side parking (street cleaning) and parking meter regulations are suspended on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28.
Last week and 150 years ago at Gettysburg, Lincoln spoke two minutes. Edward Everett, the keynote speaker, spoke two hours. Lincoln read the 271 words written on a sheet of paper. On this Baptismal Sunday and the Bible Study I wish I could deliver a two minute sermon. Actually we are struck by God’s grace, not listening to a long sermon but just one biblical passage somewhere! St. Paul quotes one verse from Habakkuk: “The one who is righteous will live by faith.” (Romans 1:17) That’s the key passage of his entire letter.
NYPD has arrested a man on charges of assault as a hate crime after a 24-year-old says he was punched in the face.
Officials are now investigating whether it was part of a "knockout" assault of an unsuspecting person with one punch. The man says he overheard a group talking about it before he was attacked.
Police say the victim told them he was walking in Brooklyn around 2:45 a.m. Friday when he was struck once. He was not seriously injured.
Amrit Marajh, 28, of Brooklyn has bee arrested, along with three others who were taken into custody and were released.
From our family, to all our friends and colleagues.
Here's wishing you a delightful Holiday Season.
May all your dreams come true next year!

Strong winds are expected with a frosty chill, which may be around here for a few days as a snow storm appears to be arriving in the Northeast just in time for peak Thanksgiving travel.
Forecasters are calling it Boreas and it could also produce snow in parts of the interior Northeast starting late Tuesday, however that portion of the forecast remains highly uncertain.
