A winter weather advisory and hazardous weather outlook posted by the National Weather Service won't expire until noon, but the threat of a major icing event continuing appears to have passed, as temperatures across the region have risen above freezing.

Ice continued to coat roads and vehicles in Masena and Ogdensburg, and many schools took no chances today as many secondary roads were slippery, and delayed opening. Highs temps today will be in the mid-40s.

The NWS forecast indicates, however, that the threat could persist for another couple of hours in communities along the St. Lawrence River.

As temperatures cool into the teens tonight, things will freeze up, but there is only a 20 percent chance of more precipitation in the form of snow.

Tomorrow and through Friday, skies will be partly cloudy, allowing the sun to poke through both days. Highs both days will be near 30 degrees, and lows tomorrow night in the low teens.

The partly sunny/partly cloudy trend will continue through Monday, the NWS says, with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens.
