In the last four hours, the Delmarva region has experienced significant snowfall, with reports from Georgetown, Delaware Airport, indicating one foot of snow. This comes as part of a broader winter storm sweeping through the Mid-Atlantic.
Meteorological reports from 2:00 PM on January 6, 2025, confirmed 12 inches of snow near Delaware Coastal Airport, highlighting the intensity of the snowfall in Sussex County, Delaware. The storm has brought widespread snow accumulations of 8 to 12 inches, with forecasts predicting another burst of snow from 8 PM to 11 PM, potentially adding 1-3 more inches, pushing the total snow accumulation to between 9-14 inches across Central Delmarva.
In addition to the snow, sleet has begun to affect the extreme southeastern part of Sussex County, complicating conditions further. Road conditions are reported as extremely hazardous with numerous vehicles stuck, prompting warnings from authorities to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary, to allow Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT) crews to manage the intense snowfall rates.
As the storm progresses, the region braces for not only the immediate effects of the snow but also for dangerously cold temperatures expected to spread across the central and eastern U.S. in the aftermath. Residents are advised to stay informed about local weather updates and adhere to safety recommendations.
