Delaware residents are breathing a sigh of relief today as temperatures climb above freezing for the first time in nearly a week. After enduring a brutal stretch of frigid weather with daytime highs barely reaching the mid-20s and nights plunging into the teens, today’s forecast offers a welcome change.
The cold snap disrupted daily life for many, with icy roads causing dangerous travel conditions and outdoor activities put on hold. Local businesses and services, including plumbers and HVAC technicians, have been busy responding to frozen pipes and heating emergencies.
While the sunshine and slightly warmer air today may feel like a reprieve, forecasters caution that another cold front could be on the way next week. Residents are encouraged to use this brief warm-up to prepare, whether that means winterizing their homes, checking on neighbors, or stocking up on supplies.
Stay safe, Delaware, and enjoy the break from the deep freeze while it lasts!
