CHENANGO COUNTY – Despite a relatively warm start to the morning, colder temperatures, ice and high winds will be returning to Chenango County early today.

According to City of Norwich Emergency Management Officer A. Wesley Jones, the weather will be taking a turn today and extra caution should be used.

Although a high temperature of 41 degrees had occurred early this morning, the National Weather Service in Binghamton released a weather alert, stating the temperatures will diminish to the 20s by mid-morning. A strong cold front moving through the area will cause temperatures to drop and any remaining rain to turn to snow. Jones explained due to the drop in temperatures, black ice is likely to be seen in the area.
