Good morning, Dover.

Delaware faces a major winter storm today with snow, sleet & ice causing hazardous travel conditions as state agencies and universities close.

Roads remain snow covered while plows work under a state of emergency.

After several days of forecasts, snow fell across Delaware overnight with measurements ranging from 1.1 inches to 4 inches, including 3 inches in Dover at 7:30 a.m. A municipal truck plowed snow in Middletown to clear streets.

On Jan. 25, a heavy snowfall blanketed Delaware streets, with Woodside receiving up to 4 inches and Wilmington Airport and Newark at 2.9 inches while officials declared a state of emergency.

Forecasts predicted additional ice and sleet later today — urging drivers to avoid non-essential travel.

In Dover, residents must clear public sidewalks within 24 hours of snowfall ending as law requires; driveways generally are exempt unless they border a public space (the previous 12-hour rule changed last year).

Throwing snow onto gutters is prohibited.

Residents losing power after recent snow and ice can quickly report outages to Delmarva Power (via online, phone, or text) or Delaware Electric Cooperative by calling the provided numbers; reports should be made as soon as power is lost to help restore service promptly.

Healthcare experts warn that shoveling heavy snow left by Storm Fern can trigger injuries and heart issues; Dr. Marisa Conti of Beebe Healthcare advises residents to wear non-slip shoes and push the snow rather than lift it to avoid trips to the emergency room.
