Heavy rain and snow tried to dampen the holiday spirits of travelers on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
The AAA estimated 46 million Americans were traveling for Thanksgiving, and most were driving.
As a precaution, Gov. Andrew Cuomo banned commercial vehicles on parts of the New York State Thruway.
AAA advised waiting until Thursday to hit the road.
Officials say the number of Americans traveling is up 4 percent this year, thanks in part to lower gas prices and the recovering economy.
