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&nbsp;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.
