Due to the continuing effects of a major winter storm, County offices will again be closed Friday, Jan. 5, 2018.

The blizzard warning for Sussex County, Delaware, has expired, but a wind chill advisory remains in effect, with gusty winds, exceptionally cold air, and blowing and drifting snow likely through Saturday, Jan. 6. Between 4 and 11 inches of snow have fallen across Sussex County, but because of windy conditions, drifts as large as 2- to 3-feet have been reported in many areas, with snow-covered roads all across the county. Citizens are urged to use caution if they must travel. For more information on driving conditions and restrictions, visit delaware.gov.
