Prince Edward Island is getting hit with a wintery, blustery mess this weekend as Kings and Queens Counties are under a Special Weather Statement.
Environment Canada has been projecting total snowfall amounts of 20 to 40 cm this weekend for central and eastern PEI. A prolonged period of snow and blowing snow is expected through the weekend into Monday. Along with the snow, winds gusting top 70kh are expected through to Monday as well, causing blowing snow and reduced visibility.
Prince County is to see a lesser amount of snow, but will still be dealing with messy conditions with blowing snow.
The weather resulted in a number of cancellations and closures on Saturday, including UPEI and all Holland College locations.
