Response time
Response within 1 hour during a storm. New Castle routes are re-checked throughout a storm, so accumulation that continues past the first pass gets a follow-up visit, not a wait until the next scheduled day.
Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in New Castle.
New Castle Airport (KILG) is the actual official climate station used for Wilmington-area weather normals, so this town's snowfall is effectively the same regional NOAA figure already used for the Wilmington entry in this dataset, not a separately-estimated number. The colonial-era Historic District's cobblestone streets and narrow brick sidewalks along the Delaware River need slower, non-mechanical clearing that heavier equipment would damage. I-295 and the approach to the Delaware Memorial Bridge are the highest-traffic corridors nearby.
We regularly service routes near I-295, US-13, DE-9, DE-141.
