Low pressure off the North Carolina coast intensified as it moved northeast. With cold air in place courtesy of high pressure to the north, snow overspread the Delmarva during the early morning hours, continuing in some spots to about mid day. Accumulations were highest south of the C&D canal, and on grassy surfaces compared to road surfaces. However, because snow fell before and during the morning commute, travel was impacted to some degree by this event, and some schools opened late or closed altogether for the day. Scattered Power outages occurred in the Lewes area due to the snow.
