Meteorologist Cheryl Nelson recently joined Meteorologist Kathy Orr at FOX Weather Philly to talk about winter weather and travel — sharing smart destination ideas for both escaping the cold and embracing it.

Winter travel doesn’t end when the holidays do. In many parts of the country, January and February often bring the most unpredictable—and disruptive—weather of the season.

Winter weather can turn dangerous quickly, especially when snow squalls, icy roads, and power outages come into play. I recently joined 'Teske’s Tidbits' on WSYR's News Channel 9 in Syracuse to share practical, real-world tips to help families stay safe before and during winter storms — from preparing for power outages and protecting electronics, to making smart decisions behind the wheel when conditions deteriorate fast.

If there’s one universal truth about travel and weather, it’s this: things don’t always move on our timeline. Flights get delayed. Storm systems stall. Roads close. Plans shift without warning. And yet, the world around us keeps moving — often in ways we can’t control.
