Delaware will spend Monday digging out and cleaning up after Sunday’s massive winter storm.
The state largely wound up seeing between 3 and 8 inches of snow.
The Bear areas saw 10 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Wilmington saw 9 inches while Newark/Glasgow saw 7.5 inches. Many places saw additional sleet accumulation on top of the snow they received.
Dover and Kent County saw around 5-7 inches. Totals were up to 4 in Sussex County where rain moved in during the afternoon.
Delaware remains under a state of emergency with a Level II driving restriction in New Castle and Kent Counties. That limits travel to emergency workers, public utilities, health care providers and other essential workers.
There’s a Level I restriction in Sussex County, discouraging people from driving without significant reason to do so.
DelDOT plows are working up and down the state, but roads, including main arteries, such as I-95 and Route 1, remain snow covered, particularly in Kent and New Castle Counties.
Delmarva Power and the Delaware Electric Co-op report limited power outages across the state.
As the storm leaves, bitterly cold temperatures will follow with lows in the teens for the rest of the week and highs not rising above freezing.
All of Delaware’s public school districts are closed Monday – along with all State of Delaware offices statewide, New Castle, Kent and Sussex County offices and facilities, and city offices in Wilmington and Dover.
