Save a place at the table for Frosty the Snowman if you live in Boonville, N.Y., or Caribou, Maine, this Thanksgiving (Nov. 25) – just in case. Otherwise, most of the Northeast should be generally snow-free during the holiday, according to Keith Eggleston, senior climatologist with Cornell University's Northeast Regional Climate Center.

For travelers in Boonville, N.Y., northeast of Syracuse, N.Y., at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains, there is a 38 percent chance of measurable snow on Nov. 24, the day before Thanksgiving, and a 71 percent chance of snow on Thanksgiving Day. In Caribou, Maine, there is a 54 percent of one or more inches of snow on the ground on Thanksgiving Day.

Eggleston based predictions on a 30-year average of Northeast snowfall, 1954 to 2003.
