Delaware State Offices Closed Tuesday

WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) --- The Governor's Office reports that Delaware state offices are closed Tuesday during regular business hours, from 8am to 4:30pm.

Non-essential employees are asked not to report to work. Essential employees should report as scheduled.

Governor Markell's office released a statement on weather conditions in Delaware:

"DelDOT crews are working hard this morning to clear Delaware's primary roads," said Governor Markell. "While the snow will stop this morning, freezing conditions will remain throughout the day and some roads will remain treacherous. DelDOT does not expect to start clearing secondary roads statewide until mid-day. Due to those road conditions and because it does not appear that state facilities will be safe for employees and the public until some point late today, state offices will be closed. Other employers should evaluate for themselves whether and when their facilities will be safe and the status of road conditions in their vicinity. We encourage drivers who do not need to travel to delay or refrain from going on the roads to give DelDOT plows time and ability to work."
