Issued by: Environment and Climate Change Canada
Description

Significant snowfall and strong winds are expected.

Locations: Central and eastern Prince Edward Island.

Potential snowfall: 15 to 20 cm.

Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 60 to 80 km/h.

Time span: Monday evening until near noon Tuesday.

Remarks: A developing low pressure system is expected to bring significant snowfall and blowing snow. The exact track of the system is uncertain, but the potential exists for significant snowfall.

Snow accumulation may make travel slow or hazardous. Roads and walkways could become slippery and difficult to navigate. Strong winds accompanying the snow will cause reduced visibility in blowing snow.

Plan ahead in case schools or scheduled activities are cancelled.

Make sure snow removal equipment (e.g., shovels or blowers) and supplies are prepared in advance.
