Prince Edward Island could see significant amounts of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning, according to a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada.

The weather agency said it’s still too early to provide specific details, but rapidly accumulating snowfall may create hazardous travel conditions.
