Southern Delaware remains under a Blizzard Warning until 6 PM today, with an additional 4-10 inches of snow and 60 mph wind gusts creating dangerous travel conditions.

A major winter storm continues to pummel southern Delaware this morning, prompting the National Weather Service to maintain a Blizzard Warning for Delaware Beaches and Inland Sussex County until 6 PM today. The region is experiencing dangerous blizzard conditions with an additional 4 to 10 inches of snow expected on top of what has already fallen. Wind gusts are reaching up to 60 mph, creating whiteout conditions and making travel extremely hazardous. Snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour are continuing through the morning, with some areas seeing rates exceeding 2 inches per hour. The heavy, wet snow is sticking to trees and power lines, causing scattered tree damage and power outages across the region. Record-breaking snowfall totals are possible. Officials are urging residents to restrict travel to emergencies only. The dangerous conditions are impacting both the Monday morning and evening commutes, with widespread blowing snow significantly reducing visibility. If you must travel, carry a winter survival kit and stay with your vehicle if stranded. For the latest road conditions, call 511. The Blizzard Warning remains in effect until 6 PM this evening. Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
