Schools in P.E.I.’s English and French-language school boards will be dismissed one hour early Monday afternoon due to expected weather and travel conditions. After-school activities will also be cancelled for the day.
Environment Canada issued yellow weather warnings across the province — with Kings County under a snowfall warning and Prince and Queens counties under winter storm warnings.
The weather agency said the storm is expected to bring significant snowfall, strong winds and blowing snow.
Snowfall estimates in Kings County anticipate about 15 cm of snow, while Prince and Queens counties could see between 15 to 25 cm, with the possibility of locally higher amounts.
Snow is expected to begin Monday afternoon and continue until around noon on Tuesday.
