Snowfall has closed a major California interstate highway for the second time in three days, but much of the country is enjoying a Thanksgiving respite from inclement weather while bracing for more.

Thanksgiving travel has been snarled in some places by two powerful storms. A winter storm blamed for one death and hundreds of canceled flights in the West moved into the Midwest on Wednesday and dropped close to a foot of snow in parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
There were some exceptions to the respite, particularly involving California’s main north-south Highway 5, which was shut down early Thursday as heavy snow softly blanketed the region. The National Weather Service predicted things could get dicey — if not impassable — for holiday travelers’ trips home. Forecasters warned against travel Friday night through Saturday night in a stretch of country form northeast Wyoming to northwest South Dakota due to expected blizzard conditions.
In California, authorities grappling with the second closure of I-5 in three days suggested alternate routes Thursday as they worked to clear the road. A previous closure on Tuesday stranded hundreds of people, and Thursday’s seemed likely to separate some families for the holiday.
