Snowfall warning issued for P.E.I.'s Prince County
15 to 25 cm of snow forecast for Prince County
While much of P.E.I. got a slushy afternoon and night Monday, Prince County saw some serious snow.
A snowfall warning was issued for Prince County by Environment Canada.
The snow started in the early afternoon. In most of the province, including parts of East Prince, rain mixed in with the snow later in the afternoon, reducing accumulations. But cooler temperatures in the west could bring 15 to 25 centimetres of snow to parts of Prince County.
CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland said the storm will cause driving problems all over.
"Messy roads, reduced visibility and local electricity outages are my main concerns for today and tonight," said Scotland.
"As for Tuesday, ice patches, blowing snow and a biting wind chill, feeling below -20 C, are also concerns."
Wet snow with ice pellets & rain tonight (freezing rain also possible) will make roads messy and reduce visibility. Heaviest precip tapers off overnight then flurries or light snow Tuesday. Blowing snow, icy surfaces & bitter wind chill (-20 to -25) are main concerns for Tuesday. <a href="https://t.co/WpyTNFB3Qp">pic.twitter.com/WpyTNFB3Qp</a>
