DELAWARE - The State of Delaware has downgraded back to a Level 2 Driving Restriction in Kent and Sussex Counties after Sunday's blizzard.
Under current restrictions, only people designated as essential personnel including snow removal operators, and people approved through DEMA's state of emergency driving waiver program, are allowed to be on the roads.
Road conditions are still dangerous, as some parts of Delaware received over 18 inches of snow. There are also still downed power lines and trees across the first state.
Governor Matt Meyer announced a Level 1 Warning earlier on Feb. 22, with the updated restrictions released at about 8:30 p.m.
Delaware officials say Code Purple Shelters are open 24 hours statewide for those needing refuge, meals, and other resources.
