Winter Storm Kenan to cause delays on the East Coast 

Stockwell International Inc has received information regarding the unfolding winter storm Kenan that is expected to impact the North East states including communities along the I-95 corridor. 

The storm’s heavy snow and strong winds will bring dangerous travel conditions, power outages, and coastal flooding to the region through Saturday night. Blizzard conditions are expected with some areas potentially receiving up to two feet of snowfall. 

Due to this, Stockwell’s expects delays and road closures during this time. Our staff will endeavour to keep you updated with the on-going weather event.
