http://www.businessinsider.com/a-noreaster-could-foil-your-thanksgiving-plans-2013-11A nor'easter is swirling together and it could hit the east coast just in time for Thanksgiving, Quartz reports.
The storm looks like it will stretch from New England down to the Carolinas, bringing snow, wind, cold and rain along with it. Quartz's report, which cites the National Weather Service, paints a particularly dreary picture for Cape Cod and says the area could receive hurricane-like gusts of wind.
Given the storm's current trajectory, the nor'easter is expected to strike sometime between Tuesday evening and Thursday, during the busiest travel days of the year.
NJ.com spoke with meteorologist Gary Szatkowski of the National Weather Service in Mount Holly two days ago. Then, Szatkowski said to use the nor'easter warning as a "helpful heads up" and encouraged people to watch the storm's track. He also said it was too soon to tell just how hard (or not) the storm could hit. A cold front is expected to hit the northern east coast before the storm though, which could drop temperatures to the 20s or teens by Monday.

(11,923 posts)We haven't had time to 'get away' as a family this year, other than 1 weekend in October and we all love the beach. We planned on shelling, flying kites and fishing. If it was just the car we were taking, I'd say "go for it", but taking a camper and the possibility of overwash on Hwy 12 is making think this is a 'no go' for this year.
If we stay home, the question will be "Do we let the extended family know and go to that huge dinner, or just have a small immediate family dinner at home?"
