Sussex County was hardest hit among Delaware’s three counties in the first winter storm of the season.
Some areas received 11 inches of snow. State government agencies and many local government offices were closed Monday. A Limited State of Emergency remained in effect, discouraging drivers from taking to the roadways for non-essential purposes. Gusty winds Monday are continuing to cause problems.

The limited State of Emergency was to expire at 6:00 p.m. Monday.
