Motorists should expect their morning commute to be a bit tricky as a major winter storm spreads across the Northeast on Tuesday, forecasters said.
Fortunately for Delaware, most of the First State will be sparred from the worst of the storm that could bring as much as 8 inches of snow to parts north of Philadelphia.
Here’s what to expect from the mid-February storm:
How many inches of snow today?
While most of the major activity will be north of Philadelphia, Wilmington could receive 2 to 3 inches of snow with a coating likely for the rest of New Castle County, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
Kent County is forecast to receive less than an inch of snow while Sussex likely will miss most of the wintry mix, according to the weather service.
When will the snow arrive?
Meteorologists urge drivers to use caution as snow should reach the Philadelphia area during the morning rush hour.
Road conditions could change quickly as rain rapidly changes to sleet and snow across the Philadelphia region, they said.
