A Blizzard Warning remains in effect across northern Delmarva until 6 PM tonight, bringing dangerous travel conditions and potentially life-threatening weather to the region.
The National Weather Service issued the extreme weather alert early this morning for New Castle and Kent Counties in Delaware, along with Caroline, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties in Maryland. An additional 3 inches of snow is expected, combined with wind gusts reaching 40 mph.
