A storm and the first punch of winterlike chill will combine to cause Thanksgiving travel headaches across the eastern half of the United States as Mother Nature serves up a smorgasbord of sloppy weather.

The National Weather Service has issued a series of winter weather advisories across the country as an estimated 80 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from their homes to celebrate Thanksgiving later this week.

While the tradition of the official turkey presentation began in 1947 when President Harry Truman was president, they were frequently gobbled up.

President Biden said the Thanksgiving turkey pardoning at the White House Monday is "my last time to speak here as your president during the season."
