Snow continues to fall up and down the First State as the latest winter storm intensifies.
The National Weather Service says a winter storm warning remains in effect until 6am Wednesday. New Castle County is expected to see the most snow -7 to 13 inches. Kent County could see 5 to 9 inches while Sussex gets 4 to 8.
Temperatures in the 20’s and gusting winds approaching 30 miles per hour are also in the forecast for the rest of the day, contributing to hazardous conditions.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Mitchell Gaines says the right blend of blend of moisture and cold air is fueling the storm.
“It’s taken advantage of a fairly tight temperature gradient, and also it’s been able to pull in some Atlantic moisture as well, as it’s developing and moving off to the east and northeast,” said Gaines.
Now that cold temperatures are at an all-time low, perhaps it’s time for you to think about getting some energy efficiency home improvement projects done. One project worth considering is having new sidings installed. With utility bills climbing, vinyl siding, especially when installed by highly capable Newark DE siding contractors, presents a good option.
The way vinyl siding is manufactured efficiently blocks the passage of heat. In summer, it can deflect the sun’s heat; in winter, it can block out cold winds. When partnered with good insulation and interior finishing, vinyl siding can keep your living space comfortable all year long.
High on energy efficiency and low on maintenance, vinyl siding installation is indeed worth the cost and effort. If you’re in the market for upgrading your siding, call trusted Newark and Wilmington DE siding contractors like Homecraft® to schedule a consultation.
