Crews are making sure to treat bridges and ramps, which can get extra slippery, and they are also monitoring the gusty winds in the event trees and branches come down.

“We’re going there to do some salting, look for ice patches, because of course we want to keep our roads safe for the motorists,” said Camden County Public Works supervisor David Stout. “When the temperature drops below 32 and you start getting into the teens, and then you get the wind adding to that — it ices up faster and we want to apply the salt for the roads as safe and fast as we can.”

Over in Delaware, crews and residents were out clearing and salting — some even dropping for a spontaneous snow angel.
