Looks like we're going to be here for a while," said Karen Goossen, who's traveling to South Carolina. "I honestly thought the line was going to be very short at Rochester because it usually is. But, then again, I usually get my flights in the afternoon, not in the morning," said Amir Al, who's traveling to New York City. "I guess it's the holiday times - It's just, it's giving JFK vibes, and I have a flight to catch, and I don't know if I'm going to make it." TSA announced that nearly 40 million passengers are expected to be screened from Dec. 19 through Jan. 2. That's a 6% increase from last year. "I'm going to relax because I work seven days a week," said Goossen. "We're planning on going to the pool and on the beach and hopefully getting a suntan," said Ella Munger, who's traveling to Florida. Crews battle bus fire on I-390 in Livingston County Winter weather is already thwarting some travel plans, with thousands of flights delayed across the country. "Leave earlier, don't do what I did - I waited until the last minute," admitted Al. More snow and freezing rain are expected in parts of the Midwest and Northeast in the coming days.
