A significant winter storm is bearing down on the Delmarva Peninsula, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Storm Warning for New Castle County from 10 AM Sunday through 6 PM Monday.
Forecasters are calling for heavy snowfall with total accumulations between 13 and 17 inches. The storm will also pack a punch with wind gusts reaching up to 40 miles per hour, creating blowing snow conditions that could significantly reduce visibility.
