CBC
Forecasters say P.E.I. could see its first serious snow of the season on Monday.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the afternoon and overnight hours.
Snow began Monday morning and will be turning to rain starting in late afternoon in eastern P.E.I., with the line of rain heading west.
The system will bring more snow in Prince County and more rain in Kings County.
Total amount forecasts are:
The temperature in Charlottetown was -4 C at 8 a.m., but is expected to rise to 5 C by midnight before cooling through Tuesday morning, which will turn any showers into flurries.
Prince and Kings counties will see similar temperature trends.
The wind is expected to increase to 30 km/h with gusts to 50 km/h by mid-afternoon.
In the face of the windy forecast, Northumberland Ferries has cancelled all afternoon sailings between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia. Confederation Bridge is advising traffic restrictions could be put in place starting early Tuesday morning and be in effect for much of the day.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
