Eastern Prince Edward Island faces a winter storm with up to 15 cm of snow and strong winds, prompting travel advisories.
Parts of Prince Edward Island could see up to 15 centimeters of snow beginning Sunday. Most of Prince Edward Island is expected to escape the brunt of a storm that could leave up to 90 centimeters of snow farther east across the Northumberland Strait in the Cape Breton Highlands by Monday night. Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for Kings County, and a special weather statement for Queens County. No advisories have been issued for Prince County.
The weather service said Kings County in eastern P.E.I. could receive up to 15 centimeters of snow throughout the day Sunday and into Monday morning, while Queens County can expect five to 10 centimeters. But P.E.I.'s neighbours in Environment Canada said people in eastern P.E.I. should consider postponing essential travel until conditions improve. 'A prolonged period of snow, at times heavy, is expected to occur in conjunction with strong winds, causing blowing snow and poor visibility today into Monday. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow,' it said in an update Sunday. The Confederation Bridge website is warning travellers of possible restrictions on Sunday due to the high winds
