DELMARVA- Snow continues to fall across Delmarva this morning, and will continue on and off throughout the day. Snow is already accumulating on grassy surfaces and on some roads. If you can delay travel, it's best to postpone it until later this weekend, when temperatures climb above freezing, and the roads are cleared and melting has begun.
Expect on and off snow into the afternoon for interior areas of Delaware and Maryland, with some rain, or rain/snow mix east of 113, and especially along the coast. Temperatures will hover near freezing for inland areas, and a bit warmer for the coastal areas into the early to mid afternoon.
