Winter storm cleanup amid shifting driving bans in Delaware

Delaware Digs Out, Roads Restricted

A powerful winter storm has left Sussex County and other parts of coastal Delaware buried under heavy snow, with residents spending the day shoveling out towering piles in their neighborhoods. Authorities initially kept a Level 3 driving ban in place for Sussex County, barring non-emergency travel to keep roads clear for plows and first responders. Conditions have since improved enough to downgrade Kent and Sussex Counties to a Level 2 driving restriction, while New Castle County remains under a Level 1 driving warning. These evolving travel limits highlight ongoing safety concerns as the state works to clear roads and restore normal mobility.
