Wintry weather temporarily loosened its grip across much of the U.S. just in time for Thanksgiving, after tangling holiday travelers in wind, ice and snow and before more major storms descend Friday. There were some exceptions to the respite, particularly involving Interstate 5 in California, 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. In Ohio, crews had restored power to about 90% of those affected by power outages Wednesday caused by high winds. At peak, 42,000 customers in central Ohio and 39,000 in northeast Ohio were without electricity.
