Sudden appearance of winter sends drivers off the roads
CHENANGO COUNTY – Steady overnight rains turning over to snow this morning resulted in a number of minor motor vehicle accidents this morning.
As of press time today, the Chenango County Emergency Management Office had reported upwards of ten accidents in the townships of Norwich, Smyrna, Sherburne, Greene and Plymouth.
According to Emergency Management Director Matt Beckwith, no injuries have been reported and none of the accidents appear to be serious.
“It’s nothing major at this time,” added Beckwith, who said drivers are having some trouble negotiating hills and slippery roadways. “The problem is, it turned so quickly ... one second it was raining and – when the front came through – we had cooler temperatures, hence the snow.”
