The temperature throughout the county is not expected to go above 26 degrees, all areas except Massena are forecasted by the NWS to experience wind chill values as low as 0 degrees.

Some snow is expected Thursday morning throughout the county, but all areas should see clear skies by Thursday night.

Snow fall forecasts for Wednesday are:

• Massena - 1 to 3 inches during the day, an additional 3 to 7 inches at night
