Snow and ice is expected from New England to Georgia on Wednesday, which promises to snarl traffic on one of the busiest travel days of the year. According to the [Weather Channel](http://www.weather.com/holiday/thanksgiving/news/thanksgiving-travel-forecast "undefined"), roads north and west of I-95 are likely to be blanketed by snow Wednesday night, and the National Weather Service says the New York area could see 6-10 [inches of snow.](http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=OKX&product=WSW&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off "undefined") Travelers should expect clogged roads and airport delays all up and down the eastern seaboard from Wednesday into Thursday morning. Four-wheel drive is always something to be thankful for. ### These Photos From Buffalo's Snowstorm Will Make You Want to Stay Inside Until Spring  A band of storm clouds moves across Lake Erie and into Buffalo, N.Y., on Nov. 18, 2014 Gary Wiepert—AP  Wil Fuentes posted this photo of a neighborhood completely covered in snow.
