Weather: Your Worst Nightmare for Holiday Travel This Season

By mbrickley

The holidays are notorious for being a hectic and dangerous time of the year to travel - but this year across many areas of the country, the weather conditions are adding to the danger on the roads.

According to a Weather Channel report, this holiday storm will primarily affect states west of the Mississippi River - with severe snow in Iowa, Nebraska and Montana. Reports call for snow, ice and rain over the next several days.

Illinois and Indiana will also be affected by a winter storm system, the Weather Channel reported.

Roads are already over-crowded during the holidays with people traveling to their holiday destinations - with this added factor of especially bad weather, it’s important to be extra careful to avoid any car accidents.

Car accidents are a leading cause of personal injury in the U.S. Keep your family and friends - and other drivers - safe this holiday by taking extra care when you’re on the road. Watch for ice, drive carefully, and have a happy holiday!
