Delmarva's January Snowfall

Today, was the first wide spread snowfall across Delmarva, snowfall amounts ranging up to 2.2". A low pressure system moved into the Delmarva area today, ahead of the system was a cold air mass with enough moisture to bring snowfall to the Eastern Shore!
Today’s notable snowfall amounts:
Maryland
Saint Michaels: 2.0"
Royal Oak: 1.8"
Salisbury: 1.5"
Cambridge: 1.0"
Princess Anne: 1.0"
Delaware
Riverdale: 2.0"
Bridgeville 1.2"
Dover 1.1"
Frankford 1.10"

For the rest of the evening expect temperatures to linger just under the freezing mark, this will bring a chance for light ice accumulation to roadways and cars. Black ice is very possible tonight, especially on bridges and overpasses. After midnight, temperatures will begin to rise above the freezing level as a warm front approaches the area. The low pressure system will continue to move off shore Wednesday with warmer temperatures in the 50s and rainfall amounts between a quarter and half inch. As a cold front moves through Delmarva on Wednesday night colder temperatures will move back into Delmarva with lows in the 20s and highs back in the 30s.
