CHENANGO COUNTY – A winter storm warning remains in effect for Chenango and surrounding counties as an estimated 6 to 8 inches of snow is expected to accumulate between noon today and 7 a.m. Saturday, although 8 to 10 inches could fall in some isolated areas and on hilltops and higher elevations.

The warning comes as a pair of powerful systems close in on New York and New England, although the second of the two storms, moving north along the east coast, is not expected to impact Chenango County. The first system, however, has the potential for high winds, blowing and drifting snow, yet nothing in the way of blizzard-type conditions, said City of Norwich Emergency Management Officer A. Jones
