N.Y. -- If you plan to go over the river or through the woods this Thanksgiving, consider snow tires. The holiday falls on Nov. 28 this year, and for the northern parts of the northeast United States, that means a good chance of snow. Cornell University's Northeast Regional Climate Center predicts a 67 percent likelihood of an inch of snow on the ground in Caribou, Maine, on Thanksgiving morning, and a 34 percent possibility in Burlington, Vt. Not far behind is Concord, N.H., with a 29 percent chance. Keith Eggleston, senior climatologist at the center, based his predictions on a 30-year average of Northeast snowfall, from 1971 to 2000.
