Snow continues to fall – heavily at times in Wilmington and New Castle County – as well as the northern portion of Kent County.
Road conditions have deteriorated enough for Gov. John Carney to issue a Level 1 driving warning for New Castle & Kent Counties. You are allowed to drive, but encouraged not to unless you have a significant safety, health, or business reason."
DART is also suspending bus services in New Castle and Kent counties starting at 6pm.
Carney declared a state of emergency last night, allowing him to activate the National Guard to help respond to the snow and potential coastal flooding in Kent and Sussex counties.
Snowfall totals are on the rise in New Castle County with Glasgow topping the list with nearly 5 inches as of 3 pm. 3 and a half to 4 is the norm above the C&D Canal. Accumulations between Middletown and Dover range between 2 and 3 inches
There’s little snow in Sussex County –but a coastal flood warning remains in effect there and in Kent County until early Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service is still calling as many as 15 inches of snow in some areas of New Castle County, and up to 10 in Central Delaware.
