Early snowfall expected for PEI

Snow is on the way.  A Special Weather Statement is in effect for all of PEI with up to 5 cm in snow possible in inland areas away from the coast Monday afternoon through the evening.    Environment Canada says the first snow of the season will spread from west to east through the afternoon. It is expected to be wet in nature, and mix or change over to rain completely for areas near the coastline. The precipitation will taper off tonight. Accumulations will be mainly confined to inland areas. We might see some slippery ropad conditions as a result.
