The county was under a Winter Snow Advisory until midnight on Sunday, with lows around 11 degrees, and wind-chills of approximately zero.<\/p>\n<p>Although Sunday\u2019s storm caused some problems for the county, it looks like it will be a major headache for the Northeast, where forecasters are predicting 2-3 feet of the white stuff will fall on that area of the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Temperatures locally today are expected to be around 23 degrees, with a low of 16 tonight and some light snow.
