Winter storm: Chenango won’t see the worst of it

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
“We’ll see some heavy, wet snow,” said Jones, who added people should drive carefully once the storm makes impact. “If travel is unnecessary, people should stay off the roads, particularly this evening. That will be the worst of it.”
Jones noted that just a few years back such a storm was “fairly common,” although mild winters over the past couple of years tend to make people nervous at times. It’s a classic Nor’easter, he added, and one that could bring up to three feet of snow to some areas in New England, as well as blizzard type conditions.
“It’s quite the storm,” added Jones. “Luckily we’re kind of on the fringe of it.”
