Driving from Silver Spring to NYC for shabbos. Is "Thanksgiving traffic" heavier on Wednesday or Thursday morning/afternoon?

If you leave at 6pm the roads will probably be empty.

Wednesday is supposed to be much worse than Thursday.

See this article: http://www.ezbordercrossing.com/thanksgiving-black-friday-traffic/

While it relates mostly to border crossings, it does have some nice overall statistics on when traffic is heaviest.
