Weather officials have issued a blizzard warning for the Delaware region that will remain in effect through Saturday evening.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly, New Jersey activated the warning at 2:56 AM on February 22nd. The alert will continue until 6:00 PM on February 23rd.
Residents across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for dangerous winter weather conditions during this timeframe. The weather service typically issues blizzard warnings when sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph or higher are expected, along with considerable falling or blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than a quarter mile for three hours or more.
Local authorities encourage residents to avoid unnecessary travel during the warning period and to stock up on essential supplies before conditions deteriorate.
