Delaware appears to have avoided the brunt of a powerful storm that is dumping snow in areas to the north.

A Winter Storm Warning has been issued a portion of Delaware, with the storm expected to bring high winds, snow, and a wintry mix of precipitation, the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly, NJ, reported.

Snowfall totaled three inches or less around the state as the predicted Monday “wraparound”moisture did not fully develop.

The Weather Service had earlier  shifted the area with the most snow to the north, although the path is still subject to change.
