First story, 6 a.m. Wednesday

The New York area is expected to feel the effects of a Nor'Easter that has already hit parts of the Midwest.

By Friday, new snow accumulation in Katonah could amount to a few inches, according to reports from the National Weather Service.

The agency says snow is "likely" after 12 p.m. Wednesday, with less than half an inch falling during the day, and one to two inches hitting over night. More may fall before noon Thursday and that night, as well as Friday morning.

High temperatures will probably range from 35 to 40 degrees during the day—with cloudy skies, as well as "blustery" and "breezy" conditions—and nighttime lows will be in the high 20s and low 30s, the NWS forecasts.

No advisories had been issued for the Bedford-Katonah area as of 11 p.m. Tuesday.
