Milder tonight into Thursday, but\u2026<\/h2>\n

The chill continues to ease tonight into Thursday with temperatures rising into the upper 20s to low 30s during the night, and low 30s through midday Thursday. Unfortunately, there is a gusty breeze again (this time out of the southwest) so there is a wind chill. However, instead of wind chills below zero, our Wednesday night and Thursday wind chills are in the teens and low 20s.<\/p>\n

After a mainly quiet evening across CNY, a pre-frontal trough blows through CNY between about 1 and 5 am with a burst of snow producing a coating to 2 inches for most, but upwards of 4 to 8 inches around the Tug Hill.<\/p>\n
