**Late-Season Nor’easter Disrupts Memorial Day Travel Plans for Millions in the Northeast**
In a shocking turn of events that has left millions of Northeasterners questioning their life choices, a late-season nor’easter has decided to crash the Memorial Day party like that one uncle who shows up uninvited and insists on telling the same old war stories. Meteorologists are baffled, but the real question on everyone’s mind is: “Who invited this guy?”
As the storm rolled in, travelers were greeted with a delightful mix of snow, rain, and the kind of wind that could make a grown man cry. “I was just trying to get to my cousin’s barbecue,” lamented local resident Betty “I-Just-Wanted-Some-Hamburgers” Thompson. “Now I’m stuck in my living room, staring at my cat, who is judging me for my life choices.”
Airports across the region reported delays and cancellations, with one airline employee, who wished to remain anonymous, stating, “We’re just as confused as you are. I mean, who knew it was possible to have a snowball fight in May? I thought that was just a myth!”
Meanwhile, local businesses are cashing in on the chaos. “We’ve got a special on hot cocoa and blankets,” said Joe “I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Summer” McAllister, owner of McAllister’s Cozy Corner. “It’s like Christmas in May, but without the joy and with a lot more shoveling.”
In a bold move, the National Weather Service issued a statement urging people to “stay indoors and binge-watch Netflix,” which has been met with mixed reviews. “I was really looking forward to my annual Memorial Day hike,” said outdoor enthusiast and part-time philosopher, Chad “Nature’s My Gym” Johnson. “But now I’m just contemplating the meaning of life while wrapped in a Snuggie.”
As the storm continues to wreak havoc, one thing is clear: this Memorial Day, the only thing getting grilled will be the hopes and dreams of those who dared to travel. So, if you’re stuck at home, remember to raise a glass of hot cocoa to the nor’easter that crashed the party. After all, nothing says “Memorial Day” quite like a snowman in your front yard.
