He says the ongoing challenges include the below freezing temperatures preventing the snow and ice from melting along with snow drifting issues. Crews will continue to be out during the remainder of the week and in addition to working on roads from the storm earlier in the week, they’ll be preparing for some more potential snow Saturday.聽聽

The department appreciates everyone’s patience with聽the minimal amount of melting that has occurred due to very cold conditions and drifting snow from the wind.
DelDOT Spokesman C.R. McLeod says they’re still getting salt out, but once temperatures get below 20 degrees, they start losing some of the effectiveness of the rock salt. Also, because of the snow drifting issues due to the wind, crews are not able to completely move on from roads in which that drifting occurs.

This is day four of long hours for crews who have been clearing primary and secondary roads and are now working on local roads and subdivisions. There will continue to be ice and snow covered road surfaces even after plowing and drivers should slow down and be prepared for slippery conditions.聽
