A blizzard warning is in effect for parts of the Delmarva Peninsula from Sunday morning through Monday evening, with up to 20 inches of snow and dangerous wind gusts expected.

A dangerous blizzard is bearing down on the Delmarva Peninsula, prompting the National Weather Service to issue an extreme weather warning for parts of our region. The blizzard warning remains in effect from 10 AM Sunday through 6 PM Monday, bringing potentially life-threatening conditions to Kent County, Delaware, and several New Jersey counties including Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Northwestern Burlington. Residents should prepare for significant snow accumulations between 14 and 20 inches, accompanied by powerful wind gusts reaching up to 45 mph. These blizzard conditions will create areas of blowing snow that could drastically reduce visibility, making travel extremely hazardous or impossible. The National Weather Service strongly urges residents to restrict travel to emergencies only during this period. The severe weather is expected to significantly impact both Monday morning and evening commutes. Additionally, gusty winds may bring down tree branches, creating additional hazards. If you absolutely must travel, pack a winter survival kit and stay with your vehicle if you become stranded. For the latest road conditions, call 511. The blizzard warning was issued Friday afternoon and will remain active until the weather system moves through our area Monday evening.
